However, the positive news is he is close to fit, likely only needing a week or two more. Once he does return, the attacker will likely see a rotational role.

It is likely his production isn't the same following the injury, although it is wild to see this far of a drop, only receiving four minutes of play thus far. He will likely have to see an increase in form before he sees any starting time again, seeing most of his time in cup ties.
