Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe was delighted with Tyrone Mings' return in their friendly against AC Milan.

The game, which honoured cult figure Warren Cummings, also saw recent loan recruit Jack Wilshere make his first appearance.

Howe told BBC Radio Solent, “Tyrone Mings' return is obviously a huge boost for everyone connected with the club. It was also good to see Junior Stanislas back out there.

“Tyrone has worked so hard behind the scenes. He's put an incredible amount of effort to get to where he is right now. We have to ensure we keep him fit because I thought in the time that he was on the pitch we saw all of the attributes he brings to our side.

“When you have that length of time out it's important that we build the individual up slowly and that's what we'll be doing with Tyrone.

“Jack Wilshere also came in and did very well. I thought he showed his technical quality in and around the box. He worked really hard for the team which is of course important.

“We're looking forward to working with Jack further and integrating him into our team."
