GARY O’Neil is hoping to have a near full complement of players for Cherries' trip to Everton this weekend, although doubts remain over the midfield trio of Philip Billing, Hamed Traore, and Joe Rothwell.
Whilst Traore has been sidelined with a foot injury since midway through April, Billing and Rothwell were surprise absentees for Cherries’ last game, a 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester United.
Danish international Billing seems the likeliest to be involved, although O’Neil mentioned that a back issue could keep him on the sidelines.
O’Neil shared: “Philip Billing should be back involved, hopefully after his back issue last weekend. Junior Traore, we're hoping, but not sure yet.
“And Joe Rothwell similar, hoping that he's involved, but still too early to confirm.
“Another training session to go tomorrow, see how they come through, but hopeful that we'll be as close to full strength as possible.”
