Bournemouth have confirmed that winger Ben Gannon-Doak has undergone successful surgery after sustaining a hamstring injury while on international duty with Scotland.

The 20-year-old was forced off after just 21 minutes during Scotland's memorable 4-2 victory over Denmark, a result that secured their place at the 2026 World Cup.

Gannon-Doak was assessed by Bournemouth's medical team upon his return to the club, and subsequent scans revealed that a surgery would offer the best route to recovery, the club said.

The Cherries say a full rehabilitation plan is now under way, guided closely by the club's medical and performance staff.

While Bournemouth have not put a timeframe on his return, it is another frustrating setback for a highly rated young player who has shown flashes of his potential since joining the Premier League side.
