Eddie Howe says that Allan Saint-Maximin, Bruno Guimaraes and Callum Wilson are all still touch and go for the clash against AFC Bournemouth.
None of the trio have been spotted training so far this week but it is understood that Bruno is feeling "better" after picking up a hamstring injury away to Tranmere in the League Cup.
Howe said: "Everybody has improved. But I will leave my team news to the time we get it. It has been a slightly difficult period but hopefully we care coming out of that. They are big players we need them back in the team."
