Even with the addition of Emiliano Marcondes, it does feel as though we are short of numbers in attacking positions. With the games coming thick and fast in the Championship, that hypothesis will certainly be tested over the coming weeks and months. Needless to say any one of them would be a big miss for the team, let alone all three.

China's coast guard said Thursday that a Japanese fishing vessel "illegally entered" China's territorial waters around Diaoyu Islands on Oct 15-16 and was warned to leave.
