At the start of the <a href="/facts/1997%25E2%2580%259398_in_English_football/caCVrm6K">1997–98</a> season, Dickov did not feature in the first team, but was restored to the starting line-up following injuries to <a href="/facts/Uwe_R%25C3%25B6sler/suJ1lvjA">Uwe Rösler</a> and <a href="/facts/Lee_Bradbury/XWMlynv5">Lee Bradbury</a>.
