Ethan Laird was left out of Bournemouth's squad for their 1-1 draw with Peterborough United shortly after making his comeback from injury.
The versatile right wing-back impressed with Swansea City during the opening half of the current campaign but was sent to the Cherries by Manchester United for the second half of the season.
Laird has sustained a pair of injuries since leaving south Wales but recently featured as a substitute in his new side's matches against Stoke City and Preston North End.
