MANAGER Eddie Howe revealed Joshua King “has a chance” of making his return for Cherries at Chelsea tomorrow (3pm).
The frontman has missed the club’s past four games after picking up a hamstring injury while on international duty with Norway last month.
But Howe, who had been left with just Dominic Solanke as a first-team striking option against Liverpool last weekend, revealed King could play a part at Stamford Bridge.
Asked whether the former Manchester United youngster may feature against the Blues, Howe said: “He has a chance.
“Josh has come through the various things we need him to come through.
“He hasn’t had a great deal of time on the training pitch but, what he has done, he’s done well.”
King has made 12 appearances in the top-flight this season, scoring goals against Aston Villa, West Ham and Manchester United.
