Bournemouth will be dealing with a flurry of injuries as relegation rivals Leeds United travel down to the south coast to try and extend the gap between them and the bottom three.
The Cherries could be missing up to seven players as the Whites make their trip to the Vitality Stadium, with the likes of Marcus Tavernier, Matias Vina and Marcos Senesi all likely to miss out on the action.
Gary O'Neil did provide a few updates in his latest press conference, claiming that Tavernier's hamstring issue was the only downside to their midweek win over Southampton while providing updates on the latter pair as well.

"He felt his hamstring. No idea how serious. That was the only downside, maybe losing Tav for the weekend, but we'll check him, and hopefully, it was just a touch of cramp at the end.
"A couple of boys cramped up. Mati Vina ideally wouldn’t have done 90, but then Tav having to come off made that tricky. So Mati maybe did longer than he was meant to. We will have to see how he is. Marcos [Senesi] suffered some cramp as well, obviously hasn’t played as much recently. So there will be a few that we need to check."
O'Neil gave a further update, claiming that his squad is extremely tired and will immediately be going into recovery mode ahead of this weekend's clash with the Whites.
"We’ll have a look whether we need to freshen it up a little bit, because some of the distances covered and the intensity of the game last night was very, very high. We need to have a look and make sure we get things right and give ourselves the best chance of being fresh enough to cause Leeds some problems. The boys are going to be extremely tired this morning, going through a recovery session as we speak."
Hamed Traore, Ryan Fredericks and Junior Stanislas are also all unlikely to see action as they recover from longer-term issues.
Predicted Bournemouth XI (4-2-3-1): Neto; Smith, Stephens, Mepham, Kelly; Lerma, Rothwell; Christie, Billing, Ouattara; Solanke.
