Wilson back in Bournemouth training
Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson has rejoined training with the first team after his second severe knee injury in two seasons but he will need time to regain match fitness.
Wilson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in February, just 15 months after suffering the same injury to his right knee.
Despite the 25-year-old making just 33 Premier League appearances over the past two seasons, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe revealed his player is in a good frame of mind, but did not give a specific recovery timeline.
"Even when he is training, we will need to give him all the time he needs ... he needs several games before he finds his rhythm and confidence and we consider him for selection," Howe told the 'Daily Echo'.
"He looks like he is running a lot more smoothly. He is mechanically very good, so I'm really pleased with him and for him. Psychologically, I think he is in a really good place.
"The problem for Callum is that as soon as you are back on a football pitch, you are judged by everybody me, the supporters, the media and that can be difficult, especially when you have been out for the period he has.
"With players who have been out a long time, it does take them a while to find peak form... that's only natural."
