Howe ready to unleash Wilson on PL

Wilson scored Bournemouth's second and laid on the third for Benik Afobe in a 3-1 win which somewhat flattered the hosts and speaking after the game, Howe confirmed that he will now consider Wilson for a return Premier League action.

"The biggest compliment I can give Callum is that he's played 90 minutes and it didn't really look hard for him, physically," Howe said. "I think his overall performance gives me something to think about.

"We've got competition in that area, for sure. I'll have a few sleepless nights, if everyone's fit, trying to pick a team and pick a bench but that's what you want. I was very pleased with him, he's done his chances no harm."

The striker had been making his long-awaited comeback from a serious knee injury, his second in quick succession, and the 25-year-old will be hoping to continue his comeback against Chelsea in Saturday's late kick-off.
