With Callum Wilson sidelined for six months, Bournemouth will be keen to lift morale against Watford in the Premier League.
AFC Bournemouth will hope they are not left counting the cost of a serious knee injury to star striker Callum Wilson when they host fellow Premier League new boys Watford on Saturday.
Wilson sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee during last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Stoke City and will undergo an operation next week.
Early estimates point to an absence of around six months - a significant blow for the Cherries, who have benefited from the 23-year-old's five goals in seven matches so far this term.
