Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed winger Luis Sinisterra could miss the rest of the season.
The Colombia international was forced out of last week's 2-2 home draw against Manchester United in his first match back from a muscle injury.
Sinisterra had missed the three previous games and returned to the starting line-up against United, only to aggravate the same problem before being withdrawn shortly before half-time.
Iraola told a press conference: 'It's going to be difficult. It's a strain so it's going to be really tight, I don't know if he will be recovered to play the last game but it's going to be difficult because the normal time is three or four weeks.
'These kinds of injuries take time and I'm sure he will try. He will be ready for his national team if they consider him, but it's going to be difficult for him to play this season.'

He returned to play in his side's draw against Man United, only to aggrivate the injury
Iraola admitted that it would be 'difficult' for Sinisterra to return to play in the 2023-24 season
Sinisterra joined Bournemouth from Leeds in September, initially on loan before the two clubs agreed a £20million fee to make the move permanent in February.
The 24-year-old has scored three goals in 23 appearances for the Cherries in all competitions.
Iraola is still without Marcus Tavernier, but is hopeful the midfielder will feature again this season after he sustained a hamstring injury during the recent defeat at Luton.
'I'm more optimistic with Marcus because the injury was before,' Iraola said. 'With one week (more to recover) it gives you some more chance, but definitely he's not going to be involved this week.
'We will try to play with him, but it also has to be the final games of the season.'
Better news for Iraola is the pending return to the squad of Antoine Semenyo for the trip to Aston Villa.

The Ghana striker, who has scored seven goals this season in 27 Premier League appearances, sustained a calf injury at Luton and missed out last week against United.
Iraola added: 'We will recover Antoine Semenyo. He will be part of the squad if everything goes well (on Saturday) in training.'
The Cherries' defeat at Luton earlier this month was their first in six league games, having won four and drawn one of their previous five. Last week's point against United has left them 13th in the table, 17 points clear of the relegation zone.
