No long-term lay-off for Bournemouth man

The veteran target man missed out on Tuesday night's 1-1 draw against Barnsley after a recurrence of his hamstring.

"Fletch has done his hamstring again. He's played a reserve game, he played on Saturday and he's looked very sharp in training," said coach Richard O'Kelly.

"He's been on a fitness and strengthening regime so we're a bit mystified as to why it’s come back.

"We're not back to square one as it’s been identified early and hopefully we've dealt with it early. It's just a niggle and he could be back within four or five days."
