Gary O'Neil has kept his cards close to his chest when it comes to Bournemouth injury updates in recent weeks and that hasn't changed ahead of Newcastle United's visit to the south coast. It's perhaps not surprising given how poor the Cherries' form has been since his permanent appointment.
They're yet to win under O'Neil since he was given the job on a permanent basis, with their last outing at Brighton ending in a narrow defeat with key players missing from the starting XI. Speaking prior to their trip to Brighton last weekend O'Neil said: “We've been really unfortunate with injuries. A lot of impact ones or innocuous ones, that have been to real key players as well. So we have suffered a tough spell injury-wise.
“I don't like talking too much about it a day before a game, because you don't want to give too much away. What I can say is David Brooks won't be involved, Junior Stanislas won't be involved, Ryan Fredericks won't be involved this weekend.
