Injury worries for Cherries

Bournemouth's injury list is causing manager Lee Bradbury problems as they prepare to take on Oxford in the Capital One Cup first round.

Long-term absentees Wes Fogden, Stephen Purches,and Charlie Sheringham have been joined by Steve Fletcher (dead leg) and Mark Molesley (groin) on the sidelines. Josh McQuoid is also unavailable with a foot injury which will keep him out of the side for two to three weeks, while Frank Demouge faces a longer lay-off with a knee problem. Adam Bartlett (hamstring) and Tommy Elphick (Achilles) will try to prove their fitness but Richard Hughes is not match fit. Eunan O'Kane will also not feature as he is on international duty with Republic of Ireland's under-21s. Bradbury will also have to decide on his first-choice goalkeeper after Shwan Jalal returned from surgery on a herniated disc to challenge Darryl Flahavan for a starting place.
