Ghanaian midfielder Abdul Salis Samed played a late role in Sunderland’s 2-0 win over Luton Town on Wednesday night in the English Championship.
Although he was named in the matchday squad for the Week 32 fixture, he did not start the game. However, in the 86th minute, he was introduced as a substitute, replacing French forward Wilson Isidor.
Before Salis entered the pitch, Sunderland had already established a 2-0 lead, thanks to goals from Enzo Le Fee and Wilson Isidor. Their efforts proved decisive, securing all three points at full-time.
Samed will be looking for more playing time in Sunderland’s upcoming fixtures, as he aims to earn a spot in Ghana’s squad for next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
Meanwhile, Sunderland’s victory has lifted the team to fourth place in the Championship standings, putting them in a strong position to compete for promotion to the Premier League by the end of the season.
