CHERRIES are sweating on the fitness of Harry Arter after the midfielder left Vitality Stadium on crutches.
Republic of Ireland international Arter played the full 90 minutes of today's 6-1 trouncing of Hull City in the Premier League.
However, the 26-year-old appeared to be feeling the effects of a first-half challenge by the Tigers' Robert Snodgrass.
Arter clutched his knee following the late tackle and was subsequently attended to by physio Steve Hard.
Meanwhile, Lewis Cook is poised to see a specialist after suffering an ankle injury on international duty with England Under-20s.
Max Gradel is thought to be set for a swift return to fitness after sustaining a hamstring problem while with the Ivory Coast.
Brad Smith, who suffered a foot injury during his stint with Australia, has been wearing a protective boot.
