Bournemouth striker Joshua King to make Wolves clash

Bournemouth striker Joshua King has escaped a serious ankle injury and could be fit to face Wolves on Wednesday.

The Norwegian was feared to have ended his season after clashing with Crystal Palace defender Gary Cahill last weekend.

"We'll wait and see," said Cherries manager Eddie Howe. "We feared, when he went down with the ankle, that potentially his season could be over, because he signalled straight away that he'd have to come off.

"Then with the replays, it looked like a nasty injury. But the scan showed it was a very minor sprain to one of his ligaments so we'll make a late call on Josh to see whether he's available for the match."
