Eddie Howe says any decisions on contract renewals have been delayed until the end of the season.
Paul Dummett, Matt Ritchie, Loris Karius, Mark Gillespie, Dan Langley, Matty Longstaff (currently recovering from a knee injury) and Isaac Westendorf will all see their current deals expire at the end of the season. But Howe has told his senior players at least that they may still have a part to play in the final eight matches.
When asked if this could be the last efforts in a black and white shirt for some players, Howe said: "I think compared to most seasons, I don't think we have many players out of contract. Certainly, that's my internal feeling.
