Competition for places is 'good problem' - Le Bris

Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris says competition for places in his team's forward line is a "healthy problem to have", ahead of the Championship leaders' trip to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

Eliezer Mayenda - who started the season as the club's main striker before picking up an injury in September - is fit enough to be selected again.

But fellow striker Wilson Isidor has four goals in six league games, while Aaron Connolly and Nazariy Rusyn are also pushing to play.

"It is a good problem for me and a good problem for the team to have that level of competition," Le Bris told BBC Radio Newcastle.
