Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe accepts it will be "very difficult'' for the club to bring Jack Wilshere back to the Vitality Stadium next season. Wilshere, 25, has seen his season-long loan spell on the south coast cut short after suffering a fractured leg during last month's away defeat at Tottenham. The England international returned to Bournemouth as part of his early rehabilitation programme and said his goodbyes to the rest of the squad. Howe, though, does not believe Wilshere, who has faced a series of injury setbacks during his career, will be turning out in a Cherries shirt again any time soon. "Jack did part of his rehab here, he has now gone back to Arsenal, but it was great to see him for the week he was with us,'' Howe said. "It was really nice to be able to speak to him and also for him to see all the players again because after the Tottenham game he suffered the injury and the players had not seen him [since]. "It was really nice to be able to be able to spend time with him, to talk to him and wish him well for the future.'' Asked if there would be any chance to bring Wilshere back at Bournemouth next season, Howe replied: "No, I think that is going to be very difficult for us. When we signed him on loan, and I have said this many times, the plan was for him to stay for a season and then to go back to Arsenal to evaluate his future.''
