Beautiful Soup strangely returning '/photo-missing.png'

Multi tool use
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm attempting to automate the downloading of player images from the www.premierleague.com website. The issue I am now facing is that when I use BeautifulSoup to parse the img src of the player photos, it is returning "photo-missing.png".
You can see when you inspect the html it is called p51490.png !? and not "photo-missing.png"
My code is as follows:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
player_page = requests.get('https://www.premierleague.com/players/4330/David-De-Gea/overview')
soup = BeautifulSoup(player_page.text, 'html.parser')
print(soup.find(class_="imgContainer"))
The output of this yields:
<div class="imgContainer"><img alt="David De Gea" class="img" data-
player="p51940" data-script="pl_player-image" data-size="250x250" data-
widget="player-image" src="//platform-static-
files.s3.amazonaws.com/premierleague/photos/players/250x250/Photo-
Missing.png"/></div>
I'm wondering if anyone knows why this is happening?

It generated automatically by JS, maybe to prevent scraping. but you can just replace Photo-Missing
with p51490
, this value saved in data-player
attribute.
soup = BeautifulSoup(player_page.text, 'html.parser')
# using CSS selector
img = soup.select_one('.imgContainer img')
img['src'] = img['src'].replace('Photo-Missing', img['data-player'])
print(img)
print(img['src'])
