AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that Tyrone Mings has a back injury which will see him out of action for at least a month.
Mings missed Tuesday's Carabao Cup win over Brighton & Hove Albion and a spell on the sideline has now been confirmed.
Though the Cherries manager was pleased that Junior Stanislas came through Tuesday night's game unscathed.
"Tyrone Mings will miss out this weekend," Howe explained.
"Unfortunately, Tyrone has got a back problem. We thought it would be manageable with treatment, unfortunately he'll be out for a period of time.
"He'll see a specialist and it has been recommended that he has a month's rest on the sidelines.
"It will be interesting to see how that rest affects his back, he has pain in one area so hopefully the rest should cure it.
"With the international break, he could miss three or four games maximum.
"Apart from Tyrone we're OK, Junior came through the game on Tuesday OK which is a big boost. We don't have any other injury problems."
