Barrett blow for Cherries

Bournemouth will be without injured skipper Adam Barrett for the clash with Chesterfield on Friday.

Barrett hobbled off in the early stages of the 2-1 victory over Notts County on January 14 with a hamstring problem and is likely to be out of action for between two and three months.

Midfielder Scott Malone is rated 50-50 with a hamstring complaint, but is unlikely to return, while Shaun MacDonald is also struggling.

Defender Mathieu Baudry is still sidelined with his own hamstring problem.

Joe Partington, Shaun Cooper and Mark Molesley are not match-fit after their respective injuries and will not be included in manager Lee Bradbury's matchday squad, while the game comes too soon for full-back Nathan Byrne following his recovery from ankle surgery.

Striker Charlie Sheringham will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.
