Eddie Howe spoke to the media after the 4-0 victory against Crystal Palace, addressing various topics. He mentioned that Sven Botman is still a few weeks away from returning due to a knee injury, despite initial hopes that he would be back sooner. On the other hand, Joe Willock has resumed training but requires more time and possibly a game before making his return.
Howe expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance in the match, particularly highlighting the importance of scoring an early goal. He praised Jacob Murphy for his outstanding performance, noting that he was a constant threat and played a crucial role in the game.
🗣️ "He's going through a very emotional time."
