Black Stars winger Christian Atsu picked an injury while in action for Bournemouth when they comprehensively defeated Yeovil Town 3-0 in a pre-season game on Tuesday evening.

The 23-year-old started the game for the newly-promoted Premier League side but had to be replaced as early as the 31st minute after suffering an injury on the half-hour mark.

Atsu was forced to put the ball out of play and abandoned the game as he picked what appeared to be a slightly serious injury.

He headed down the tunnel leaving the game with display.

The Chelsea loanee, who played last season at Everton, had helped his side take the lead but had to be forced out of the game with the injury.

Bournemouth medical officials will perform an initial scan on the injury to assess the extent of damage to the former FC Porto starlet.
