Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris says he will find a solution to plug the gaps in his side's defence.

Regular left-back Dennis Cirkin has a hamstring injury, while back-up Leo Hjelde is also out injured.

Centre-back Dan Ballard remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, and right-back Trai Hume is playing through a hip problem.

But Le Bris has to find a way of working around this ahead of Saturday's home game with Millwall (15:00 GMT).

"We'll try and play with 10 players," he joked with BBC Radio Newcastle. "But we'll find a solution with a versatile player."

However, Le Bris expects Hjedle and French playmaker Enzo Le Fee to be fit for the trip to West Bromwich Albion on 5 April.

Le Fee has been missing since the end of February after picking up a hamstring injury.

The Black Cats resume their Championship campaign in fourth, 11 points behind the top two and with their automatic promotion hopes effectively over.
