BOSS Lee Bradbury admitted he was looking forward to the prospect of having “strong character” Mark Molesley available for the League One run-in.
Molesley looks set to return in time to boost Cherries’ promotion push as his ankle problem is not as bad as first feared.
Scans on the injury indicated the former non-league star could be back in action within two to three weeks, which came as a relief to Bradbury.
Molesley, who spent 17 months on the sidelines due to a persistent foot problem, turned his ankle during Cherries’ reserve clash against Swindon earlier this month.
Bradbury told the Echo: “Originally we were thinking, given the way it was swollen, that it could have been the end of his season, which would have been very disappointing.
“But Moles has reacted excellently to every knock he has had since he has been injured. He keeps coming back stronger and stronger.
“He is really hungry to get back in the first team and that is great for me because he is a good player.
“Thankfully, it looks like he might get a couple of games in |for us towards the end of the season.
“We look forward to having him back as soon as possible.”
