Cruciate curse strikes Wilson again


Callum Wilson has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury.

The Bournemouth striker was injured in training on Wednesday and scans have confirmed that he has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The 24-year-old, who suffered a similar setback last season in his right knee, is facing up to six months on the sidelines but manager Eddie Howe is backing him to return a strong player.

"We are all devastated for Callum,” Howe said.

“What’s important now is that he receives the support and love of his family and friends, teammates and everyone associated with AFC Bournemouth.

“Callum showed incredible character and determination to come back from a similar set-back last season and we know he has the same strength and will to do the same again.

Wilson has scored six goals in 21 appearances for the Cherries this season.
