CHERRIES boss Eddie Howe said his side were not "too downbeat" following their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Speaking to the media after the home game, Howe said: "I felt it was difficult for us, the second half especially with the injuries.

"It restricted us tactically; we couldn't make any changes late in the game when we needed to try and get momentum back in our play.

"And also from the guys perspective to see their team-mate stretchered off, and they are so tight here, that's a difficult one for them psychologically to handle.

"We're not too downbeat, it's an important point for us."

On the injuries to three players - Charlie Daniels, Tyrone Mings and Max Gradel, he said: "They all look like knee injuries.

"Tyrone's didn't look good. Seeing him in that much pain isn't nice to see. Maxi knew pretty early he had a serious one. Any knee injury is worrying."
