Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is wary rushing back David Brooks from his ankle injury.

Brooks, who has been out all season with an ankle injury, is closing in on a return to full training.

"He [Brooks] is building fitness and endurance levels," Howe said. "His ankle is feeling okay.

"I hope that he can be integrated into training quite quickly from this point, but when you consider the length of time that he's been out, the fact he hasn't trained with the group, hasn't had any games as such, there's still a little bit of work to do with him."
