Hyundai is looking for a long-term option to replace the late Breen, as Sordo won't contest all of the remaining WRC rounds.
Hyundai signed Breen to share its third factory i20 N alongside veteran Sordo this season. The latter has been a mainstay of the squad since the marque's return to the WRC in 2014, moving to a part-time role in 2018.
Team principal Cyril Abiteboul told Motorsport.com that the team is assessing its options regarding its driver line-up, with a focus on the long-term future a key variable. "I don't want to see the exercise that we have to do in a very unfortunate circumstance as a gap filling exercise. I want to see that as a strategic decision for the team and for the company.
Meeke will be joined by Breen's former co-driver James Fulton for the latest round of the championship that takes place at Rally Portugal this weekend.
