Eddie Howe hopes that Bruno Guimaraes can make up for lost time in the Carabao Cup final this weekend.
The Brazil star has been suspended for the last three matches but is free to face the Red Devils after his red card in the semi-finals against Southampton. Howe is waiting patiently to see if Joe Willock is available after a hamstring injury after the ex-Arsenal star returned to training this week.
If Willock doesn't make it, Howe has a choice of either Joelinton dropping back into midfield or Elliot Anderson to partner Sean Longstaff and Bruno in the middle. For now, the head coach is just delighted to see Bruno back in training.
