Gradel: Howe 'rings me everyday, it's crazy'

Bournemouth winger Max Gradel says boss Eddie Howe rings him 'every day' to check on his recovery from injury.
The Ivory Coast striker is out injured until at least February with an anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL). Numerous English Premier League players have been ruled out in recent weeks with the problem.
