Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe does not have any plans to send Mark Travers on loan.

The shot stopper has become an important player for the Cherries as they look to have a good season.

He has played in all the cup competition matches this term, but he is second choice in the Premier League.

The 20-year-old has played two EFL Cup and one FA Cup game for Bournemouth this term.

Howe believes Travers is not going anywhere in January.

The boss told the Daily Echo: "No thoughts of loaning Mark. He is too important to us at the moment.

"I understand he will desperately want to play. I'd want all my players to desperately want to play. But we have to make a decision together of what's right for him next."
