Harry Wilson to return to Liverpool for treatment after 'strange' injury

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has indicated that Liverpool winger Harry Wilson, who is on loan with the Cherries for the season, is to return to Merseyside this week in a bid to rid him of an injury.

Wilson, who is his temporary club's top scorer in the Premier League so far this campaign with six goals, missed Bournemouth's win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

And manager Eddie Howe has now clarified why the Wales international was on the sidelines.

Howe explained: "Harry’s [injury] is a strange one. He suffered a knock on his leg, a dead leg.

"But it’s swelled up and the swelling keeps returning. We are going to probably get him back to Liverpool this week and hope he can be back very soon.

" Liverpool will have a look at him early in the week.

"I just think it’s the right thing to do with him obviously being contracted to Liverpool, just to check he’s OK."

The Reds are currently away at the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar.

But Klopp and his backroom staff will no doubt want to check on Wilson's injury as soon as possible, allowing him to get back to his loan spell on the South Coast at the earliest possible opportunity.
