Bournemouth goalkeeper Neil Moss is facing two months on the sidelines after he was injured in last Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Gillingham. "He hyper-extended his knee, and he's fractured the top of his tibial plateau," boss Sean O'Driscoll said.
"The specialist has estimated he'll be out for two months - and Neil doesn't get injured much, so for him to go down was a worry, and we heard a crack."
Moss, 30, had not missed a League game for two-and-a-half years.
However, O'Driscoll was pleased after Moss's deputy Gareth Stewart helped the injury-hit Cherries beat Torquay in the Carling Cup after saving a penalty in the shoot-out.
"I didn't want it to go to extra time and penalties, but the performance was great," he said.
"We had a lot of new faces out there, and mixed and matched a bit, but I thought they played some great stuff and thoroughly deserved it."
