    Bournemouth v MK Dons preview

    Team news ahead of Saturday's League One clash between Bournemouth and MK Dons at Dean Court.

    Injury-stricken Bournemouth can at least call on new recruit Miles Addison. Cherries boss Lee Bradbury was forced to move quickly to complete a loan deal for the Derby defender after Stephen Purches suffered a double leg break during a 1-0 defeat at Rochdale. And with Steve Cook missing for up to three weeks with an ankle injury, Bradbury's backline faces a tricky test against a Dons side that has scored seven goals in its last two outings. The defensive quartet of captain Adam Barrett, Mathieu Baudry (both hamstring), Shaun Cooper (calf) and Nathan Byrne (ankle) are all struggling for match fitness. Goalkeeper Shwan Jalal is recuperating from a back operation, with striker Charlie Sheringham (foot) sidelined for the rest of the current campaign. Midfielders Joe Partington and Mark Molesley provide fitness concerns elsewhere on the field. Several players are giving MK Dons boss Karl Robinson cause for concern. Captain Dean Lewington, fellow defender James Tavernier and midfielders Darren Potter and Alan Smith are nursing niggles following the home victory over Bury in midweek. Striker Jabo Ibehre and midfielder Luke Chadwick had minor knocks and were only fit enough for the bench on Tuesday night. However, Chadwick is expected to return to the starting line up at the weekend. "We have quite a large amount of injuries," said Robinson. "That pitch has really taken it out of the players. Darren Potter is not training today (Thursday), James Tavernier, Alan Smith and Dean Lewington aren't training either. "We are in the wars at the moment but it is not about who is fit at the moment, but who is fit in 48 hours' time. I am sure some will come through it and make themselves available for the game before we travel down to Bournemouth." Stephen Gleeson collected his 10th yellow card of the season against Bury, meaning the midfielder will begin a two-match suspension, while defender Gary MacKenzie will serve the third game of his four-match ban.
