Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe admits David Brooks still has some time before he returns from injury.
The 22-year-old suffered ankle ligament damage during a pre-season friendly at Brentford back in July an injury which has kept him out of all the Dorset club's competitive fixtures this season.
Howe said: He is okay. He's getting there.
He has worked incredibly hard on his fitness. We still haven't seen him train with us yet.
Until he gets to that point, I'd say he's still got a bit to go."
