(Reuters) - Bournemouth will be without the injured pair of Charlie Daniels and Joshua King when they face Premier League champions Chelsea in the League Cup quarter-final on Wednesday, manager Eddie Howe has said. Defender Daniels suffered a groin injury and lasted less than an hour in the 4-0 defeat by Liverpool in the league on Sunday, while forward King came off after 31 minutes with a hamstring injury. Ahead of Bournemouth's trip to Stamford Bridge, Howe said the injuries were not serious. "We're stretched due to injuries and I have to be careful, managing the squad will be important," Howe added. "We will feel pressure in that we need a positive response after Sunday... We need to make sure we leave Stamford Bridge with a positive mindset again."
