Injury Crisis at Bournemouth

Despite defeating Burton Albion 1-0 last Saturday, Bournemouth could only find three substitutes for the game and their injury situation looks little better for tomorrow evening's game at Hereford.

"The boring man that I am, my thoughts go straight to our visit to Hereford on Tuesday night. We're so thin on the ground as everybody knows - we only had three substitutes sat on the bench today. We just need to make sure that we can get everybody out on the pitch on Tuesday. At this stage, everybody who was out today looks doubtful for Tuesday," said manager Eddie Howe after Saturday's game.

"Alan Connell brightened us up today, he held the ball up well and had a hand in Brett's goal."

The Cherries have been given permission to sign one new player by the Football League due to their current plight. One of the three on the bench on Saturday was 16 year old Jayden Stockley, with the club having to ask his school's permission for him to travel. The new player Howe can bring in can be non-contract or loan, subject to strict wage controls that their Chairman claims to leave them only able to offer around £500 a week for a player.
