Eddie Howe has reflected on Bruno Guimaraes' red card - but can rest safe in the knowledge he will NOT miss the final.
Bruno's late lunge on Sam Edozie will see him banned for three matches in the Premier League but he will be available for the Wembley showpiece against Man United or Nottingham Forest.
Howe said: "A huge blow for us and it will take time for it to sink in. He’s a huge player as everything goes through him – we’ll miss him. It will be an opportunity for someone else.”
