Krafth is out for the next six to eight weeks due to a broken collarbone, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Emil has had an operation. We anticipate he's going to be out for six to eight weeks, It's a big blow to us to lose Emil who has been such a consistent performer."

Trippier (hamstring) has returned to training and will be a late call for Monday's match, according to his manager Eddie Howe. "He trained well yesterday and felt good - no ill effects, looked sharp. That was his first day of training so again, we're in a similar position in that right at the end of the rehab you've got to navigate the last few days."
