The Bournemouth manager, Eddie Howe, admitted things did not look good for Callum Wilson after the Cherries’ top scorer was carried off on a stretcher having suffered a knee injury early on in the 2-1 loss at Stoke.
Wilson went down under a challenge from Philipp Wollscheid in the eighth minute of the game at the Britannia Stadium.
Having had treatment on the pitch he appeared to walk it off and came back into the match, but moments later the five-goal striker was back down, his leg having buckled as he ran, and he subsequently departed once again on a stretcher.
Howe - who has already lost Tyrone Mings and Max Gradel to serious knee injuries this season - said: “It doesn’t look good at this moment in time. He is in a brace and on crutches and is in a bit of pain - there is a bit of swelling there.
“We won’t know until we get it scanned and properly looked at, but it is worrying for us - it looks like it could be another serious knee injury.
“All I know is he took a whack to the knee, felt he was OK to carry on and then collapsed in agony, and obviously that is not a good sign.
