Eddie Howe returned to a rear four in the 4-0 victory of last night in Brussels, with Dan Burn and Kieran Trippier who occupied the full-back slots.
Lewis Hall still seems to have his minutes managed at the start of this season, while Tino Livramento would never start after he had forced an injury to Arsenal last Sunday.
And the Gaffer confirmed reports that Livramento will be out for the next six to eight weeks, which is a blow in itself, but a relief to a certain extent, in which how to admit that the news is ‘positive’, given the initial fears because he was stretched in tears last weekend.
Howe hopes that Tino could be back after the next international break in November, which means that he could strive for our home conflict with Man City on Saturday, November 22:
“From yesterday’s meeting with a specialist, we think that Tino will be about six to eight weeks. That is probably positive from where we behind the [Arsenal]play, thinking that he can be months.
“We probably don’t look at this international break, but perhaps he could be back. It is a bit more positive than we initially feared.”
Fortunately, we may not have to wait that long to finally play Yoane Wissa his dream to play Champions League football on his own return of an injury, where Howe notes that he is still on his way to returning in a few weeks.
“Yes, I think we are still on the right track for where we were, which is after this international break.”
“He has not yet trained on the grass, so we have not seen him as part of a team training. At the moment that is the schedule, but we will wait.”
So, Wissa is “on the way” for our trip to Brighton on Saturday, October 18, where Jacob Ramsey also insists on the Amex after he recently returned to the grass after an ankle problem that was picked up during our 0-0 draw at Leeds.
