Bournemouth without several key players for visit of Southampton

Bournemouth welcome Premier League side Southampton to the Vitality Stadium tomorrow in the FA Cup but they will have to do without several first team players.

Lewis Cook is out long term and is on the sidelines alongside David Brooks, Adam Smith, Junior Stanislas, Lloyd Kelly but Jonathan Woodgate expects everyone apart from Cook to be able available for selection after the international break.

He will have to do without Jefferson Lerma in midfield due to suspension while Shane Long is also cup tied and unable to play against his parent club.

This should provide some younger players a chance to make the squad and even earn an opportunity off the bench depending on how the game is going for Woodgate’s side.
