Harry Wilson return to Liverpool for assessment on 'strange' leg injury

Bournemouth head coach Eddie Howe has revealed Harry Wilson will return to parent club Liverpool this week to check a recurring injury on his leg.

The 22-year-old missed out on Bournemouth’s surprise 1-0 victory against Chelsea at the weekend due to his current injury concerns.

However, the Cherries have been unable to make much progress with the winger’s recovery and will be sending him back to Merseyside to go over the problem.

When asked about the Wales international’s injury, Howe told the Bournemouth Echo: “Harry’s is a strange one. He suffered a knock on his leg, a dead leg.

“But it’s swelled up and the swelling keeps returning. We are going to probably get him back to Liverpool this week and hope he can be back very soon. Liverpool will have a look at him early in the week.

“I just think it’s the right thing to do with him obviously being contracted to Liverpool, just to check he’s okay.”

Wilson has made an impressive start to his loan spell with Bournemouth, scoring six goals in 14 appearances, making him the club’s top goal scorer this season.
