What they're saying
"

Junior Kroupi is facing three-to-four months out with a foot injury that he suffered out in Austria at Bournemouth's training camp. It seemed like it was a freak injury when he was taking a shot in training earlier this week but Bournemouth are going to be without their top goalscorer now for the foreseeable. It will be a large chunk of their Europa League campaign, so you're looking at an October or November return, but that's depending on how well the recovery goes.

Bournemouth's plans for the new season have been dealt a blow after forward Junior Kroupi was ruled out for around three months with a foot injury.
