Kyril Louis-Dreyfus on the 'monumental task' lying in wait ahead of the second leg against Lincoln

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has penned an open letter to Sunderland fans ahead of welcoming them back to the Stadium of Light.

The 23-year-old believes the Black Cats face a 'monumental task' this weekend but it is not an impossible one.

His message is the latest in a rallying cry to Sunderland supporters as they prepare to set foot in the ground for the first time since March 2020.

Speaking to the club website, Louis-Dreyfus said: "On behalf of the players and staff at Sunderland AFC, we are very excited to be welcoming you back to the Stadium of Light this weekend.

"The events of the past 14 months have underlined why football is nothing without its fans and as a club, we have felt that more than most due to the incredible support you provide.

"It has been a long and challenging season, but the team have worked very hard throughout it to secure a Play-Off place and ensure we can still achieve our objective of promotion.

"We all felt disappointed following Wednesday’s result and I know we face a monumental task, but it is not an impossible one.

"The team have my full confidence for the upcoming battle and I know you all will join me in supporting them this Saturday.

"Together, I believe anything is possible at the Stadium of Light.

"Ha’way the Lads,

"KLD."
