Bournemouth have been dealt a huge injury blow as vice-captain Andrew Surman has sustained a potential season-ending injury in training.
The Cherries have already had to adjust to life without club captain Simon Francis, whose season was ended with a knee injury in December, and now have lost another leadership figure in midfielder Surman with a calf strain.
This also leaves Eddie Howe short of midfield options, with Lewis Cook and Dan Gosling in the treatment room, and he has admitted this latest injury is a big loss for his side.
"He pulled a calf in training which was a real blow for us because it was an innocuous looking thing that happened," said Howe, speaking to the Daily Echo as quoted by VitalFootball.
