JERMAIN Defoe and Junior Stanislas will both miss Cherries’ Premier League clash at Swansea through injury.
Defoe, who was not included in the squad for the 4-0 victory over Huddersfield last time out, is sidelined once again with a calf problem.
Winger Stanislas remains out having sustained a groin injury during the defeat to Chelsea last month.
Speaking at this morning’s press conference, manager Eddie Howe said: “Junior will miss out again with his problem, which we don’t think is serious but is taking longer than we first hoped.
“Jermain will still be out with his calf problem.”
Striker Tammy Abraham is a major doubt for the hosts with a back injury, having been forced off against Burnley.
