(Reuters) - Bournemouth striker Joshua King has missed training due to an ankle injury and will undergo a late fitness test before the Cherries' Premier League match against Newcastle United on Wednesday, manager Eddie Howe said.

The 28-year-old hobbled off after a challenge by Gary Cahill in their 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace and missed last week's 1-0 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
