“Listen, at the end of the day any team in the world would miss Louis Moult. It’s a massive miss to have someone like that taken out of your team. He scores goals.
“It’s obviously taken us time to adjust to the fact he won’t be here moving forward but it gives other lads the chance to step up to the plate. There’s an opportunity now they might not have had previously.
“The club are looking to bring someone else in and that’s up to the manager. The boys who are here just now need to push on.
