AFC Bournemouth vs Watford - Cherries lack Ake for visit of Watford

Nathan Ake could miss Bournemouth’s Premier League clash with Watford on Wednesday due to a hamstring issue.

The Holland defender picked up the injury in Sunday’s 4-1 loss at Manchester United and is now a doubt for the Vitality Stadium clash with the Hornets.

Jordon Ibe could again deputise at wing-back, with Simon Francis, Adam Smith, Lewis Cook and Dan Gosling all long-term absentees due to knee injuries.

Captain Troy Deeney is likely to return for the Hornets, with boss Javi Gracia set to make changes.

Andre Gray (leg), Sebastian Prodl (knee) and Adalberto Penaranda (foot) missed out in the draw against Newcastle.

Christian Kabasele also did not feature after a collision with the frame of the goal in the match against Chelsea.
