Injury news: Wilson and Stanislas progressing well

AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe confirms that Callum Wilson isn't in line for a return just yet as he continues his rehabilitation.

Wilson is still recovering from a serious knee injury, but the manager is enthused by his work behind the scenes.

"Callum isn't close, not yet," he confirmed.

"But he's looking good, we haven't seen him back in training yet so there's still a way to go.

"We want to ensure Callum returns in the best possible condition.

"Elsewhere in the squad, there's nothing new that's a major concern."

Junior Stanislas trained with the first-team this week, a good sign as he continues to work back to full fitness.

The winger had been out after undergoing groin surgery at the back end of last season.
