However, manager Eddie Howe says that Gordon is part of the club’s future, despite having his head turned by Liverpool.
On Gordon, Howe said: “I welcome him back with three arms if I had them!
“He’s such an important player for us, we didn’t want to lose anybody. Why would we want to lose our best players? We fought really hard to make the right decisions.
"In those last few weeks it was very, very difficult. He’s an integral part of what we’re doing. He needs a bit of a break. By the time he comes back he’s ready to go.”
