Eddie Howe does not expect Alexander Isak to be back until December after suffering a thigh problem. After picking up a knock in training with Sweden the striker is now nursing a fresh blow.
It leaves Howe without his £63millon man for at least two months. After the goalless draw with Man United, Howe said: “Alex has reinjured his thigh. It’s a very similar injury to the first one that he picked up with Sweden.
“He’s going to be out for a period of time – we probably won’t see him before the break for the World Cup.”
