Sunderland explained the fixture change in a statement on their website.

They wrote: "The original fixture fell within a period designated for international fixtures and as three or more players have now been selected by their respective nations, the club made the request to the EFL to postpone the fixture, which they duly granted.

"SAFC would like to thank Fleetwood for their co-operation, and the club also extends its sincere thanks to supporters of both clubs for their understanding in relation to the movement of the game."
