The diligent striker suffered a serious injury to his hamstring early in the Boxing Day match with league leaders Leicester City, which was devastating for the individual and the team.

“We wanted to add a goalscorer (in the January transfer window) before George’s injury. Now he’s ruled out for a large majority of the season that increases that importance.”
