Marvin Bartley may miss the relegation run-in after a persistent groing injury got worse last week.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe told the Daily Echo: “We’ve got our fingers crossed for Marvin but it doesn’t look too promising at the moment.

“He’s really struggling and can’t even jog.

"We’ll have to wait and see what the consultant says but he definitely won’t feature for a couple of weeks."
