Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is upbeat over Josh King's injury suffered in victory at Chelsea.

King picked up what appeared to be a hamstring problem.

The frontman was making his return from a four-game absence with a hamstring injury picked up on international duty.

Asked whether the striker was okay, Howe said: “I haven't spoke to him but, hopefully.

“I knew he was going to run out of gas today. He hasn't trained a lot.

“He had a hamstring problem away on international duty so, it was great to see him return, I thought he played very well."
