Talbi started the first six games of the Premier League season after his summer move from Club Brugge but has been a substitute for the last three fixtures.
He's come off the bench in all three games but been used on the left flank rather than the right, where he started the season.
The 20-year-old has shown his versatility and struck the stoppage time winner for [Sunderland](https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/sunderland/?ref=ed_direct) at Stamford Bridge last week, but might well again have to settle for a spot on the bench on Monday night when the [Black Cats](http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/sunderland?ref=au) host Everton.

As for Traore, he was an unused substitute for his first two games after his deadline day move from Ajax but after coming off the bench for the final half an hour of the win at Nottingham Forest, started against Manchester United, Wolves and Chelsea.
The Burkina Faso international hasn't yet made a major impact for Sunderland but Le Bris values what the 30-year-old brings to the side.
He said: "I'm really happy with Bertrand. He's a different character, a different type of player as well. He didn't connect early with us and struggled a bit during the pre-season because he had an injury.
"He missed probably two weeks. We were aware that his fitness level wasn't the best when he came here. Now, he's training really well.
"He understands the game model, the way we want to play in this position especially. He's the captain of his national team, so he has a different personality, a different character, and he's improving a lot."
Even if Talbi is on the bench again on Monday, Le Bris says the young winger will continue to play a prominent role this season - and starts will soon come again.
"I think he's doing really well," he said.
"He's really young. Chems is 20, so you have to remember that playing at that level at 20 and being consistent is not easy.
"If you are consistent coming off the bench, scoring, provoking different chances, I think it's good, and I know that he will play and start different games later."
