(Reuters) - Bournemouth could be without a trio of wingers for Sunday's Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur while striker Jermain Defoe is in contention to play against his former club, manager Eddie Howe said on Friday.

Howe said that Marc Pugh (calf) was almost certain to miss the game at the Vitality Stadium while fellow wide men Jordon Ibe (hamstring) and Ryan Fraser (back) would have late fitness tests.
