Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says he now has a more appreciative Callum Wilson at his disposal.

The England striker, who has suffered from major knee injuries in the past, has scored two goals in Bournemouth's opening two games, both of which were victories.

Howe said: "Whenever you get a long-term injury, you go through a lot mentally. There is a lot of soul-searching and you have a lot of time to think, which is not always a good thing.

"There are those questions you ask. How am I going to come back? Am I going to be as strong, quick and as good as I was before?

"But I had no doubt Callum would come back well because of how strong he is and how well he deals with those moments.

"It seems to have made him more determined to maximise every moment of his career."
