Everything points to the Black Cats being without Robin Roefs again for today's game at St James' Park.
But Le Bris will have no concerns at all if, as is likely, Melker Ellborg again wears the gloves for Sunderland.

It's been quite the introduction to life in English football for the young Swede. A debut at Elland Road, an FA Cup tie at League One Port Vale followed by his home debut last week.
Ellborg will be disappointed, obviously, to have been on the losing side in his last two outings, but Le Bris has been very impressed by his January recruit.
"At Leeds, it was quick, it was not a shock for him, but it was intense," said Le Bris.
"I really appreciated his game, the way he prepared it, the way he managed the feedback after.
"He's really demanding with himself, and I like it. He's a good example for the group as well."
Today, as was the case at Leeds, Melker - comfortable with the ball at his feet - is likely to face a very high and aggressive press, but Le Bris has made sure his keeper is prepared.
He said: "Yes, we did it before Bournemouth and Leeds. I think that week and the week after were really important.
"Melker learned a lot from those experiences. He's really committed. He wants to learn every day.
"It's the case for the players, but sometimes you have someone who shows something a bit different, and it's the case for Melker.
"I'm sure that the more he will get experiences, the better he will become with the ball. He doesn't have the same level of experience as Robin, because Robin has been playing with us for six months.
"For Melker, it's just a few games, but he's doing well."
For Le Bris, the message to his players in the dressing room today will be the same as it's been all week: play the game, not the occasion.
"In the final, at Wembley, I think we struggled because of that," he said.
"The event was so massive. Probably a few players played three, four, five times the game before and we lacked a bit of energy.
"But we found a solution to stay connected.
"I think for me, it's the most important thing. Stay connected with the game. Don't overthink, don't overcomplicate the opponent, the way they play. Just stay connected with you as a team and as a player."
