2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cirkin took the starting job in the Championship last season and never gave it up, making 39 appearances (33 starts) and scoring three times with two assists. He ended the season with an injured wrist, something that will keep him out the first few weeks of the new season. He's set to be the starting left-back when healthy, but his offensive production is likely to struggle in the top flight. He created just 18 chances with seven shots on target last season, numbers that will only get worse in the Premier League with fewer clean sheets.

Dealing with wrist injury
Cirkin will miss the start of the 2025/26 season while rehabbing from a wrist injury, the club announced Friday.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if this is the same injury that kept Cirkin out of the U21 Euros, but the one thing that's certain is that the defender won't be ready to open the season. He's expected to miss Sunderland's first three matches of the 2025/26 EPL campaign against West Ham United, Burnley and Brentford. As of now, the predicted recovery timeline would have him returning to the side around the September international break.
