Bournemouth suffer setback

– Bournemouth could be without England midfielder Lewis Cook for up to nine months after he suffered a serious knee injury during his side’s 2-1 Premier League win against Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.

The south coast club, who face high-flying Liverpool today, said scans revealed the 21-year-old had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

“We are all devastated for Lewis,” Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe told the club website. “It is a huge blow to a very talented player.” – Reuters
