Botman (knee) could return against Ipswich, according to assistant manager Jason Tindall. "Maybe next weekend he could be involved or available for selection. But again, that will be assessed over the next coming days. But we're certainly pleased with his progress."
ANALYSIS
Botman is out for a Saturday trip to Aston Villa, but could return as soon as a clash with Ipswich Town. The defender would be a huge boon to get back in the starting XI. Dan Burn has done excellently with Botman injured, meaning there's little incentive to rush Botman back into the first team.

Botman (knee) will undergo surgery in the upcoming days and will be sidelined for eight weeks, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference. "Sven, we have been trying to get him back to full fitness, he was very close to the Brighton game but the day before he felt something again in his knee. This week he has had the same discomfort so it looks like he will have to have an operation. He needs a small operation to clear out some fluid and then he should be fine again.
