Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has started by talking about the contrasting fortunes of two of his players, namely forward Callum Wilson and left-back Charlie Daniels.
Wilson, could add to his three England caps after being named in Gareth Southgate's squad for the on Thursday, while Daniels is set to have knee surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2019-20 season.
On Wilson, he said: "It's great for Callum to get another call-up, he deserves it. He's not scored yet this season but I'm sure the goals will soon come."
On Daniels: "It's a huge blow for him and a huge blow for us, our thoughts are with him now.
"He'll need supporting and this club really does support its players. He'll come back from this I'm sure."

One slight problem with Alexis Sanchez's departure is of course that Anthony Martial will miss Saturday’s Premier League game at Southampton.
The French forward was injured in last Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
So effectively that means manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have just Marcus Rashford and teenager Mason Greenwood to pick from up top.
Looks pretty thin to me.
Then again Greenwood is very talented and Solskjaer has said he wants to give the 17-year-old more opportunities. Looks like he's got his wish.

A good start. Not a piano in sight.

Sanchez departs for Interpublished at 09:09 British Summer Time 30 August 2019
Southampton v Man Utd (Sat, 12:30 BST)

One player that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won't be able to call on this weekend is Alexis Sanchez, after the forward completed a loan move to Inter Milan.
It just never quite worked out for the Chile international at Old Trafford, with five goals in 45 appearances a pretty paltry return considering his talents.
Anyway, the 30-year-old will stay with Antonio Conte's side until 30 June 2020 and link up with ex-United team-mate Romelu Lukaku, the striker having joined Inter for £74m this summer.
The new Yorke and Cole of Serie A, no doubt (just look at that chemistry).
You can read the full story on that here.
