Bournemouth's Welsh winger David Brooks will be out for three months with an ankle injury.

The 22-year-old, who signed from Sheffield United for 拢11.5m in July 2018, is due to have surgery next week.

The news comes a day after midfielder Dan Gosling was also ruled out for three months, with a hip injury.

Brooks, nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, scored seven league goals and provided five assists in his first season with Bournemouth.

The ex-Manchester City youth player won the men's prize at March's Football Association of Wales awards.
