Bournemouth striker Evanilson is set for a spell on the sidelines after having surgery on his broken foot.

The Brazil forward was substituted in the closing stages of Saturday's 1-0 win against Everton.

Further assessment confirmed he had fractured a metatarsal and it required an operation.

The Cherries say the surgery was successful but have not put a timescale on the 25-year-old's recovery.

"The club's medical staff will now provide Evanilson with their full support through the rehabilitation process, ensuring he has the best possible recovery," read a statement.

Evanilson has scored five goals in 19 appearances since joining Bournemouth for a club record £40.
