Striker Wilson, who was ruled out for an initial three weeks in late January after undergoing a minor knee operation, is yet to return to full training.

Midfielder Brooks is nursing an ankle injury suffered in the 4-0 defeat by Chelsea last month.

“They’re improving quickly but this game has come too quickly for them,” Howe told a news conference.

“It’s very difficult to know exactly when they’ll return. We haven’t seen them in training yet or on the grass so still some way away.”

Junior Stanislas faces a late fitness test to be available for the clash with seventh-placed Wolves as the midfielder looks to shake off a hip flexor problem.

Bournemouth are 11th in the standings with 33 points from 26 games and are looking to bounce back from two straight league defeats.
