Targett has been out of action since the start of the season following a serious case of Ezcema, said manager Eddie Howe. "Matt (Targett) has had a flare-up of eczema so he's been nursing that over the last couple of weeks".
ANALYSIS
Targett had originally been dealing with an Achilles injury before the start of the season, but now has been diagnosed with Eczema, which has prevented him from training. The defender hopes to commence light training soon, and aims to be available for selection in October. Even if fit, Targett is likely to be a limited option, having made only three Premier League appearances last season.
