Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson sidelined due to knee surgery

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson faces a month out after knee surgery.

The news was revealed by Cherries boss Eddie Howe in a big blow to his club and England.

But he was barely missed as Bournemouth thrashed Chelsea 4-0 in one of their best results of the season.

Josh King netted twice, and further strikes from David Brookes and Charlie Daniels ensured it was a miserable night on the south coast for Maurizio Sarri and co.

Midfielder Jefferson Lerma also missed the game with an injury to his ankle.
