Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings has been ruled out for the season.

Max Gradel is also out for six months, both because of knee injuries.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe said: "Max will be out for pretty much six months. He's had his operation and is recovering now. Tyrone will be out for at least nine.

"I feel for players more than anyone. I'm really disappointed for them that they're both going to be out for long periods.

"We are certainly going to miss them. They were a key part of what we were doing going forward. We hunted both of them, especially Max, for a long time.

"Both players are positive about the future and we will look after them and back them. It's a big blow but we have to recover and it will be an opportunity for somebody else."
