Crossword Genius

Sends on attacking players (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forwards

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sends on' is the first definition.
('forward' can be a synonym of 'send on')

'attacking players' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for forwards that I've seen before include "Attacking players" , "Ahead in time; in the normal order" , "Football players" , "Passes on" , "attackers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
