Callum Wilson's impressive start to life in the Premier League has been curtailed by a serious knee injury.
AFC Bournemouth will be without Callum Wilson for a minimum of six months after scans confirmed the striker has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Wilson sustained the injury to his right knee during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Stoke City and will undergo an operation next week.
The 23-year-old had enjoyed a flying start to his debut Premier League season, scoring five times in seven matches – including a hat trick when Bournemouth secured its maiden top-flight win 4-3 at West Ham United.
