Wilson said he will see a specialist this week.

Boss Eddie Howe said after the Premier League game that Wilson could be out for "weeks, maybe months" and that was likely to have a bearing on their dealings in the transfer market.

Wilson told the BBC Footballer's Football Podcast: "It's a strange one, I don't know how long I will be out for.

"I have an appointment with the specialist on Friday to see what the scan says and to try and distinguish a timeframe.

"It's in my calf, soleus area. You do the same movement a thousand times a week in training and for some reason I managed to push off in the wrong position or direction and got a tear in it and it gave way. It's a little frustrating.

"You have an inkling whether [the injury] is a bad one or a little niggle.

"This one is probably middle of the road, so I will find out how long it will be, rebuild and go again."
