Bournemouth defender Russ Perrett has received a boost after hospital tests came back all clear after he suffered breathing difficulties.Perrett suffered a scare last Wednesday after being admitted to hospital suffering with breathing difficulties and missed the weekend defeat to Southend as a result.

Perrett is still suffering some discomfort and remains on painkillers but hospital scans showed no signs of damage.

A statement on the club's official website read: "An ECG (electrocardiogram) on the heart came back all clear as did a chest X-ray and a scan to monitor blood flow."

Meanwhile, Ryan Garry is to have an operation to resolve a shin injury which is expected to keep him sidelined for two to three weeks.
