Bournemouth could be without as many as eight players for the trip to face Tottenham in the Premier League tomorrow (Saturday).
The Cherries travel to face Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Jose Mourinho's first home game in the Premier League as Tottenham head coach.
But Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has some selection problems for the game, amid a number of injury problems and suspensions, with as many as eight players set to miss the game.
Among them is Joshua King, who has a hamstring strain, while long-term absentees Charlie Daniels, David Brooks and Junior Stanislas are also currently sidelined.
In addition, Andrew Surman and Lloyd Kelly are doubts for the game with thigh and knee injuries respectively.
“Joshua [King] is still out,” Howe said, speaking at his pre-match press conference.
“We haven’t seen David Brooks on the training ground just yet either and the long-termers are still unavailable."
Howe is, however, hopeful that Ryan Fraser and Dominic Solanke may be fit for the game though.
“Ryan Fraser got a knock on his leg, a dead leg really. We didn’t see him at training in the early part of this week, but hopefully he’ll be ok," he said.
“Dominic felt his hamstring in the warm up [for the Wolves game] when he was having a shot on goal,” confirmed Howe.
“He was then warming up again at half time and felt that he couldn’t sprint. He had a scan on Monday and that came back all clear, so he should be ok for the weekend’s game.”
Bournemouth will also be without captain Simon Francis and midfielder Philip Billing, who will both miss the game through suspension.
Francis was sent off in the 2-1 defeat against Wolves last weekend, while Billing picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in that game, and will serve a one-game suspension.
