EDDIE Howe confirmed striker Joshua King would be out of tomorrow’s Carabao Cup fourth round battle at home to Norwich (7.45pm).

The Cherries frontman has been nursing an ankle problem which kept him out of Saturday’s 3-0 Premier League win at Fulham.

King originally sustained the problem while on international duty with Norway earlier this month.

He started Cherries’ goalless draw with Southampton but saw the problem flare up ahead of the victory at Craven Cottage.

Boss Howe said: “Josh will definitely be out. He is the one player in the squad who will miss the game

“Everyone else at this moment in time is okay.”

Victory over the Canaries, who are fourth in the Championship, would put Cherries in the last eight for the second season in a row.
