Gary O’Neil has confirmed that both Kieffer Moore and Chris Mepham will return to Bournemouth’s side for their trip to Leicester tomorrow.
O’Neil said: “They’ll be in the squad tomorrow”.
“The reason that Meps and Moore both weren’t in the squad was because of the amount of players that we have”
The Welsh internationals were both left out of O’Neil’s side that suffered a 2-0 defeat to Brighton midweek and haven’t been in action for the Cherries in over a month, with Moore’s last full appearance coming in the 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest in January.
Someone who may not appear for the Bournemouth tomorrow is defender Marcos Senesi, after a “slight hamstring issue” which saw the Argentinian limp off in the game at the Vitality Stadium in midweek.
O’Neil also said that Bournemouth can “lose tomorrow and still stay up” ahead of tomorrow’s relegation battle against Leicester.
The Cherries will be looking to replicate the result from earlier in the season which saw them beat Leicester 2-1 after two quick fire goals from Billing and Christie.
A win for O’Neil’s side could see them move up to 13th and take a huge step towards Premier League survival with nine games to go.
Leicester will be led by caretaker manager Adam Sadler in tomorrow’s game after the sacking of Brendan Rogers after their 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. The foxes are without a win in eight and have lost their last four home games, but could move themselves as high as 14th with a victory against the Cherries at the King Power Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
