A day after reports emerged that the 22-year-old had suffered an unspecified injury during the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal, he posted a photograph of himself recovering in a hospital bed on his official Instagram account.
The image was accompanied by a post which read: 'Devastated to be here writing this message and words can't fully describe the emotions attached to this setback.

'Sometimes it's hard to find the positives in situations like these, but without a doubt I'll be back better physically.
'Surgery was a success and the road to recovery begins now. Although it has been a difficult period for me over the last few days, this is only a minor setback and I will be back better than before.'
It remains to be seen how long Mundle, who has been linked with a summer move away from Wearside in recent days with Ligue 1 Monaco and Eredivisie PSV Eindhoven linked with moves for the pacy midfielder, will be out of action.
However, his misfortune will come as blow to head coach Regis Le Bris, whose side was in friendly action against Spanish outfit Sevilla on Saturday evening at the Estadio Algarve in Faro just four weeks before they renew acquaintances with the English top flight when West Ham visit the Stadium of Light.
