Sunderland have now lost more than 1,000 days to injury this season - the highest total in the Premier League.
And Sportsmail can also reveal that David Moyes has seen his squad suffer 46 separate injuries, another unwanted top-flight record.
Indeed, Moyes could arguably name a stronger starting XI from those players missing than the team he will pick for tonight’s FA Cup third round replay at Burnley.
The injury list is crippling for a boss who already has limited tools available to him.
