Jason Denayer is delighted after making his debut with Sunderland.

The on-loan Manchester City defender has declared himself 100 per cent fit after coming through his first 90 minutes of the season in the Checkatrade Trophy clash with League OneRochdale.

Denayer said: “I am happy to start playing games, because I didn't play a lot of games in pre-season or at the start of pre-season.

“It is good to be back on the pitch and it is very important for me.

“There were a lot of long balls a lot of duels, it was competitive and a good football game.

“Physically, I am really well.

“I am 100 per cent, I am good. Tactically I need to adapt to what the club wants, that is where I can improve right now."
