Bournemouth have been dealt a damaging blow after the club confirmed striker Callum Wilson will miss the remainder of the 2016-17 campaign due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The Premier League outfit released a statement via their official website on Thursday announcing Wilson's rehabilitation is "expected to last for six months," providing quotes from manager Eddie Howe, who said:

We are all devastated for Callum.

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