Protecting the expectations on him would be my guess. With the type of injury he's had there's a strong chance he could come back not the same player or competitive matches could cause the injury happen again. So rather than hype up his potential return I assume they're keeping things quiet so any involvement from him is just seen as a bonus.

Yes, makes sense

I'd be happy with just 1 more striker. We are almost ready with our best squad ever

Almost... just a huge gaping gap in our squad up front

See the club has finally changed all the official squad photos to this season's kit.

I wonder if this is squad numbers, or that's still to be decided? White still listed as 28 (wore 3 in games) Webster still 15 (wore 4 v WBA).

Great to see Izzy in there in new kit.

Also begs the question (as some have suggested he's back in Brighton) why Andone is still listed in old kit!, and Gykores isn't in pics?

So strikers we literally have 2 and third is crocked.

Shocking photo of Maupay

Your analysis of the striker situation is correct and starkly laid out on the club site

Ooh good spot. Loving that Izzy is back. We know Andone was out at least until Jan. Bit surprised Gyokeres isn’t in the squad. Maybe we will actually sign a couple of strikers!?

I wouldnt draw any conclusions from this. I mean David Button is still listed, and he is gone.

I think player lists are just feeds from the PL database. If this isn't up to date then the club website won't be either.

It's all up to the office junior at the PL to keep the data current.

Andone thrown in their with the number 10 to make our striking options look plentiful.

Mac Allister also wearing number 10 so... that's cool.

EDIT: Lol, just realised Andone is in the old kit too. Bit of photoshop would have fixed that.

They could have fixed Webster's left collar.

I looked about 3-4 days ago and it was all last season kit, baluta, Duffy, Mooy all there.... So it's Def updated by club.

So you are saying the feed works the other way and the PL App/site takes a data off the Albion database instead ?

Must be a nightmare for the PL with data being stored by various clubs in different ways.

havnt a clue how it works BV?, but Tudor Baluta was there and having not been sold or loaned yet, he's disappeared?

I think the squad lists are generally not very accurate between seasons. However, if Băluţă has disappeared from the list it could indicate a move is in progress.

Disappointingly and for whatever reason, he hasn't made any apparent progress at the Albion and looks a bit surplus.

Some suggestions online that Gyokeres might be off to Swansea on loan. Good idea, we're knee deep in strikers.
