Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson will be given plenty of time to rediscover his form and fitness before he returns to Premier League action, according to manager Eddie Howe.
Following a second serious knee injury in 15 months, Wilson made his comeback in the reserve side's Premier League Cup match against Norwich City this month.
He scored twice for the Under 21s in a 3-2 defeat by Cheltenham Town last week but Howe said the 25-year-old was still some way off from being ready for a top-flight game.
'He is closer than he has been because he has had those two games under his belt but with the length of time he has been out, Callum has to get his fitness levels adjusted to the Premier League,' Howe told The Daily Echo.
