CHERRIES boss Eddie Howe has admitted he could be open to allowing Lys Mousset to go on loan.

Attacker Mousset has managed just 23 minutes of Premier League football this season following his summer move from Le Havre.

The 20-year-old has made two appearances in the EFL Cup and played 90 minutes in the 3-0 FA Cup defeat to Millwall earlier this month.

Howe said: "Every situation would be different. You have to assess each situation on its merits.

"With someone like Lys, it might be beneficial for him to go and get football on a loan arrangement.

"We will wait and see and try to make the right call for us and for Lys."

Howe reported that defender Marc Wilson was his only fresh injury concern ahead of tomorrow's home clash with Watford.

The boss added: "We felt Marc Wilson had good news on his hamstring last week but he felt a tightness in his hamstring last Friday, so he has not trained this week."
