Recent updates from Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris have been vague but there are signs that Danns may well be available sooner rather than later.

The club’s official account on X shared a series of images featuring Liverpool stars relaxing at the training ground with one shot showing Danns prominently.

Sunderland fans have largely been left baffled by Danns’ signing to this point but there is a good chance he makes it back in time to help with their Championship playoff campaign before the end of the season.
