So now that the BB gun is on his way and Ekitike due back also, are we not looking a bit heavy upfront? Especially with the hole we have at defensive midfield and the ongoing calamity of our Full Backs situation.

Ekitike due back? I’ve seen could be November time? Have I missed something?

More like January.

I read Boxing Day somewhere.

This has to be ragebait, but I'll bite anyway.
Ekitike is not due back, he's still hobbling around the place on the inside training videos, no chance somebody with that bad a limp is anywhere near a return.
Even if he was, what do you mean "heavy upfront", we have 2 injury-prone strikers; 1 was out for 4 months, and the other is going to be out for a total of 9-12. That's a year and a half out injured between the 2 of them in their first 2 years at the club, and that's 'If' Isak doesn't get injured at all this season.
Not to mention the fact that Gakpo may be on his way out, meaning our backup consists of a 17-year-old with 6 games worth of minutes to his name and a 22-year-old with just 1 season of top-flight football under his belt. There's one more thing, what was it? Oh yeah, we don't even have a RW, at all.
The only thing heavy about that is the fact that situation is the fact that it weighs heavy on my heart. ?

Is Ekitike injury prone?
Is Isak? I know he needs to be managed, apparently, but I don't know whether he could be classed as injury prone.
Ekitike snapped his Achilles and Isak broke his ankle.
I don't think they'll be doing that regularly.
