Brobbey was at the centre of a key incident when Tottenham captain Cristian Romero collided with his own goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky under pressure from the Sunderland forward.
Romero was forced off in tears and Kinsky completed the game with his head heavily bandaged.
“We stand firmly with Brian and offer him our full and unwavering support,” Sunderland said in a statement.

The club added that the abuse was not an isolated case, saying Romaine Mundle and Lutsharel Geertruida had been subjected to similar treatment in recent weeks.
“The club has reported this incident to the Premier League, the relevant social media platforms, and the police, and we expect swift action to be taken against those responsible,” it said.
Sunderland climbed to 10th in the table and will face fourth-placed Aston Villa on Sunday.

Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images The Baltimore Orioles acquired infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for cash considerations on Monday.
Baltimore optioned Encarnacion-Strand to Triple-A Norfolk as it made some infield adjustments. The Orioles placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle on the 60-day injured list after he fractured his left foot and recalled utilityman Weston Wilson from Triple-A.
The O’s also transferred right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo (right shoulder inflammation) to the 60-day IL to make room for Encarnacion-Strand on the 40-man roster. Encarnacion-Strand was optioned to Norfolk.
The trade comes five days after the Reds designated Encarnacion-Strand for assignment.
Encarnacion-Strand, 26, appeared in 128 games for the Reds across three seasons (2023-25). He was on the 40-man roster to start the season but was optioned to Triple-A Louisville, where he batted .222 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 10 games.
Since breaking into the major leagues in July 2023, Encarnacion-Strand primarily played first base for Cincinnati (86 starts) but also made 13 starts at third base and handled right field for part of one game.
He has a career batting average of .233, with 21 home runs and 72 RBIs.
Mountcastle, 29, suffered a broken bone in his foot when stumbling while running the bases Saturday. The veteran was batting .286 with one RBI in eight games.
Wilson, 31, is set to make his Orioles debut after appearing in 100 games for the Philadelphia Phillies since 2023, batting .242 with nine homers and 29 RBIs.

#indigenous #Indian #sports #cricket #hockey #CWG #Mandaviya">Two indigenous Indian sports and cricket, hockey definitely at 2030 CWG: Mandaviya
Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday said the 2030 Commonwealth Games is likely to feature two indigenous Indian sports in an elaborate event programme that will definitely have hockey and cricket among others.
The Commonwealth Sport delegation, led by its president Donald Rukare, CEO Katie Sadleir, Director of Games and Assurance Darren Hall, Director of Sport Ann-Louise Morgan, and major events expert Neil Carney, was in India last week to assess preparations in host city Ahmedabad.
The delegation met Mandaviya on Friday and discussed time-lines to ensure “efficient delivery” and legacy planning for optimum utilisation of infrastructure after the Games.
“Kabaddi, Mallakhamb, Kho-Kho, and Yoga are under consideration from among our indigenous sports. Two of them should make the cut,” Mandaviya told reporters during an interaction here.
The Minister also confirmed that cricket and hockey, which did not make the cut for the upcoming Glasgow edition this year, are certain to make a comeback in what is likely to be a 17-sport roster. The Glasgow Games are to feature only 10 disciplines and India’s core medal sports like shooting, wrestling, and badminton have been dropped to prevent the overall cost from ballooning.
“Both cricket and hockey will be there,” he asserted.
“Commonwealth Sport has gone back with a very good impression of India and its initiatives like the Khelo India Scheme, that crossed 60,000 athletes, representing over 30 states and Union Territories,” he said.
Athletics and para athletics, swimming and para swimming, table tennis and para table tennis, bowls and para bowls, weightlifting and para powerlifting, artistic gymnastics, netball and boxing are the confirmed disciplines for the 2030 CWG.
Two sports out of hockey, T20 cricket and rugby sevens are mandatory in the CWG.
Mandaviya had earlier said that plans are afoot to launch a nationwide campaign featuring iconic athletes and youth leaders to build momentum for the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad.
The Commonwealth Games will be back in the country for the first time in two decades. India hosted the event for the first and only time so far in 2010 in Delhi.
India won the hosting rights last year, beating competition from Nigeria.
The country is also in the running to become an Olympic host in 2036, again in Ahmedabad.
The Minister said detailed planning is currently underway across 23 ministries to ensure that the government is able to deliver a successful CWG in 2030.
“Similar coordination will be done if we get the 2036 Olympic Games. The central government will provide all the support that the host city would need but ultimately the identity of the Games is the host city and a majority of the work will be done by the local government,” he said.
