He still saw the start in the middle of the pack for the majority of the season, just not seeing much work in the attack at all, despite consistently seeing action moving forward in years past. He should still see regular time next campaign, but he will hope he can see a bit more production, possibly having been fatigued from the busy summer with Austria at Euro 2024.
