Fogden doubt for Cherries

Bournemouth are sweating on the fitness of midfielder Wes Fogden ahead of their clash with Exeter.

Fogden suffered an ankle injury during the 1-0 defeat at Chesterfield last time out but, with the fixture having been put back three days because of the freezing conditions over the weekend, he may have had enough time to recover in time to face the Grecians.

However, manager Lee Bradbury will definitely be able to call on new signings Matt Tubbs and Donal McDermott, who joined the Cherries last week, and winger Scott Malone is available after making a full recovery from a hamstring tear.

Bradbury will be missing captain Adam Barrett, who has been ruled out with a hamstring problem, while Mathieu Baudry (hamstring), Joe Partington, Shaun Cooper, Mark Molesley and Nathan Byrne (ankle) are still short of match fitness.

Striker Charlie Sheringham will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury, while goalkeeper Shwan Jalal has been sidelined after undergoing a routine back operation.

Dan Thomas has been recalled from his loan spell at AFC Totton and could feature on the bench as back-up to Darryl Flahavan.
