Bournemouth have confirmed Simon Francis will miss the rest of the season after becoming the club's latest anterior cruciate ligament victim.
Club captain Francis sustained the injury in the first half of the Cherries' Boxing Day loss to Tottenham in the Premier League, leaving the Wembley pitch on a stretcher.
He will now face six to nine months on the sidelines, joining Lewis Cook in the treatment room after the England midfielder suffered the same injury earlier this month.
"We are devastated to have lost Simon to a serious knee injury," Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe told the club's official website.
