We asked for your views on how big a blow Evanilson’s injury is, and who you would choose to replace him in his absence.

Here is a selection of your responses:

Mark: Devastated for Evanilson first and foremos – let’s hope he is back soon. He might only have five goals, but his work-rate is unbelievable. For me, he is by far the best striker we have ever had. We need to get someone in on loan… Marcus Rashford? Also time for Enes Unal to shine – this is his chance. With Europe genuinely in sight, let’s hope we get as many players back as soon as possible.

Jake: Unal should see this as an opportunity to step up – and I would be surprised if we didn’t see Andoni Iraola looking to strengthen depth in the number nine position in January.

Tim: Fortunately, Bournemouth have been scoring from a variety of personnel – not just Evanilson. Replacing his position, and back up, will require some investment during the January window. However, replacing his goals will be a squad effort.

Robbie: A huge blow. It’s not just his goals, but his work-rate and the way he fits perfectly into Iraola’s system. I am not sure we have anyone in the current squad who can play that role. Hopefully PSR will not restrict signing a replacement (maybe a loan) and the passport will not need to be put back in the drawer!

Kris: We need to get another striker on loan in the window. Unal won’t cut it for the months Evanilson is out.
