Amad will be up against the impressive Alejandro Garnacho, but he should look at taking a first step by overtaking Antony in the pecking order. The Brazilian has continued to underwhelm this season and there needs to be conversations had about his future at the club.

Romano also claims Amad wants to ‘respect’ Sunderland by rejecting Boro, after spending last season on loan with the Black Cats.
