He got a knock on his shin in the first international break that put him out for a couple of weeks and then he got kicked again a couple of weeks after and that has resulted in him having to go back to Chelsea for treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cUnfortunately we haven\u2019t seen Christian here for about a month. It\u2019s going to take time for him to get fit again. It has been a real shame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The timeframe is unknown at the moment but it is a stress fracture on his shin. We don\u2019t think it is anything serious, there will be no long-term problems but he may be back at Chelsea for another three to four weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Atsu, who suffered through pre-season with a back problem, has not played since featuring in the Capital One Cup win over Preston on 22 September. Howe, however, is looking forward to welcoming him back when the 23-year-old returns to fitness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe\u2019s a very talented player and the big disappointment for us is that every time we have got him fit and conditioned to play he has then picked up \u2013 due to no fault of his own \u2013 an injury. He has been very upbeat, he is a lovely character. He played well in the two Capital One Cup games \u2013 we would love to see more of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: The Guardian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian Atsu, whose game-time has been limited to two League Cup appearances since he joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Chelsea, has returned to Stamford Bridge for treatment after picking up a stress fracture while on international duty in September.
