Head coach Eddie Howe expects Elliot Anderson to recover from a hamstring injury in time for the match with the 19-year-old returning to training this week.

Allan Saint-Maximin, who has also been nursing a hamstring issue, could be back in contention for a place on the bench alongside Anderson.

The Mail Online have claimed that Jonjo Shelvey is also nearing a return from his hamstring injury having made ‘excellent progress’ behind the scenes.

Alexander Isak (leg) and Chris Wood (rib) are likely to miss the trip after picking up injuries on international duty with Sweden and New Zealand respectively.
