Eddie Howe: Jack Wilshere will not be back at Bournemouth next season

"When we signed him on loan, the plan was for him to stay for a season and then to go back to Arsenal to evaluate his future."

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe accepts it will be "very difficult" for the club to bring Jack Wilshere back to the Vitality Stadium next season.

The England international has seen his season-long loan spell on the south coast cut short after suffering a fractured leg during last month's away defeat at Tottenham.
