CHERRIES' new striker Kieffer Moore is set to miss around two months of action due to a broken foot.

Moore, who joined from Cardiff City for a reported £3.5million on transfer deadline day, suffered the injury during his brief cameo appearance against Birmingham City on Wednesday night.

The Wales international was not part of the squad for today's dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Blackpool.

Asked for an explanation for the 29-year-old's absence, boss Scott Parker confirmed: "Kieffer's a big disappointment. Kieffer's broken his foot.

"Kieffer's going to be out for probably the next two months. Disappointing really.

"The luck on it. Brought him in, he's come on for five minutes, landed on his foot, which is his opposite foot (to his recent ankle injury), a brand new injury and he's broken his foot.

"He'll have surgery on Monday, so that's disappointing."

Without Moore, Cherries battled back to beat Blackpool with Jamal Lowe and Siriki Dembele on target late on, after Josh Bowler's stunning opener.
