FOUND: Sunderland hit with aji alese worst case scenario as defender s season over | Mind Blowing Facts

Aji Alese has joined Sunderland's list of long-term injury list with the defender ruled out for the remainder of the season. The 22-year-old was substituted at half-time in last Saturday's defeat against Stoke City at the Stadium of Light, with boss Tony Mowbray explaining afterwards that the left-back had been withdrawn due to injury rather than as a tactical change.

And this morning the club has confirmed that a thigh injury will prevent Alese playing again this season. A statement from the club said: "Sunderland AFC can confirm that Aji Alese will miss the remainder of the season due to a thigh problem.

"The defender picked up the injury during Saturday's defeat to Stoke in the Sky Bet Championship. Wishing you a speedy recover, Aji!"
