Our biggest loss right now.
Yep. (And there is Shearer saying sometimes you have to just kick it long. Well we have no Solanke or Richarlison to pick it and hold it so it will just come straight back again. Son and Tel are not those sorts of players)

It comes back far too quickly when these two play as well

Not for me
With Richarlison maybe but Solanke's hold up has been brilliant all season barring just before he got injured where he had a couple of iffy games.

His importance to our play is as high as VDV for me.

He's a massive miss. Our pressing and ball retention is basically non-existent without him in the frontline.
He's been an incredible signing. I know he's only got a goal ratio of about 1 in 3, but I don't think any of us really appreciated just how much he'd bring to our team. Having him back for the last quarter of the season would be a massive boost.

The last notable mention was pre Brentford when Ange listed a few players slated for this week and Dom was a week or so behind them.
They are all kind of around the same time, around 10 days time. We are talking about Vicario, Johnson, Destiny, Wilson, Timo. Romero is a bit of a tricky one. We are not really sure yet. There is still some work he needs to do. Certainly all those guys, I think of the long term ones apart from Dom (Solanke) who is probably a week behind them, the rest of them are slated to be back in the next week to 10 days to be available.

[With Romero] it’s just a slower healer with him and it is one we are looking at on a week to week basis. Again, he has been out for quite a while. Like with all the other long term ones, we are just taking our time.
