Rochdale v Bournemouth preview

Team news for Saturday's League One clash between Rochdale and Bournemouth at Spotland.

Michael Symes' stop-start introduction to life at Rochdale will stall once more this weekend. Symes joined Dale on loan from the Cherries before the end of the January transfer window but the cold snap prevented him from making his debut until Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat against fellow League One strugglers Scunthorpe. The striker will be restricted to a watching brief this weekend as he is ineligible to face his parent club. West Ham loanee Paul McCallum could be in line to make his first appearance for John Coleman's side after the 18-year-old failed to make the matchday 16 at Glanford Park. Coleman has no new injury worries as midfielder Simon Hackney remains a long-term absentee with an abdominal problem. Meanwhile, Wes Fogden is available to Bournemouth manager Lee Bradbury. Fogden suffered an ankle injury during the 1-0 defeat at Chesterfield on January 27 and has missed the Cherries' last three outings. However, the midfielder could now feature at Spotland as Bournemouth look to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Leyton Orient. Otherwise, Bradbury will be without captain Adam Barrett, who has been ruled out with a hamstring problem, while Mathieu Baudry (hamstring), Joe Partington, Shaun Cooper, Mark Molesley and Nathan Byrne (ankle) are still short of match fitness. Striker Charlie Sheringham will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury, while goalkeeper Shwan Jalal has been sidelined after undergoing a routine back operation.
