However, Pedro is a starter when fit and will eye an immediate return to his role at forward, recording 14 goals and five assists in 32 appearances (28 starts0 this campaign.

Impact Pedro will try to overcome the pain in the next few days, remaining a doubt for the next EPL match. His absence was a serious blow to the attacking ability of a team that has gone scoreless in five of its last six games across all competitions. In any case, Pedro is the squad's top scorer with 14 goals in 32 league appearances this season, so he'll likely be selected over Liam Delap as soon as he's fully recovered.
