Bournemouth’s Norwegian forward Joshua King will miss Saturday’s Premier League encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers after picking up a hamstring injury on international duty, manager Eddie Howe said on Friday.

It’s a very minor hamstring strain, so it’s difficult to judge how long he’ll be out, but it may keep him out for a couple of weeks,” Howe told reporters. Winger Ryan Fraser is also a doubt after missing Scotland’s qualifying matches against Cyprus and Kazakhstan due to injury. “We’ll make a late call on Ryan, looking at his injury and see how he is ahead of the game,” Howe added. Midfielder Dan Gosling is closing in on a return to the first team after overcoming a hip issue and played Tuesday’s friendly match at Reading.
