# Sunderland: Fans devastated after Lynden Gooch suffers serious injury

**Many Sunderland fans reacted to the news that midfielder Lynden Gooch suffered a serious injury and is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.**

The 24-year-old will be out until after the New Year after breaking his foot, [Roker Report](https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/2020/11/25/21720648/roker-roundup-sunderland-attacker-lynden-gooch-has-broken-his-foot) revealed, however it is not clear how his injury was caused.

Gooch has scored two goals and four assists from 10 starts in League One this season and is a player who manager Phil Parkinson will certainly miss ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/294849/Show/Lynden-Gooch)), with his side sitting eighth in the standings with six wins from their first 12 games of the 2020/21 campaign (via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-one/table)).

Supporters have [shown their appreciation](https://www.footballfancast.com/league-one/sunderland/sunderland-fans-heap-praise-on-lynden-gooch-following-his-stunning-goal-the-black-cats-phil-parkinson-fan-reaction) towards the American middle man previously, with Aiden McGeady looking like the player that will step into his shoes going into the difficult Christmas period.

With this in mind, the Stadium of Light faithful were devastated by the news about a player that has played 921 minutes this season ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/16/Show/England-Sunderland)), with only three of his teammates featuring more.

### Fans gutted by Gooch setback

> This is a disaster to be honest. Gooch has been one of the few actually playing well. Could tell he was struggling Saturday after taking a kick. Speedy recovery [@LyndenGooch](https://twitter.com/LyndenGooch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [https://t.co/rUuEurnCPd](https://t.co/rUuEurnCPd)

> Huge blow. Guess we’ll soon find out whether McGeady was ostracized to create a pathway for youngsters as promised… or because he was too big a personality for Parkinson to manage. [https://t.co/0RwcWxwAUu](https://t.co/0RwcWxwAUu)
