Bournemouth vs Leeds preview - Kermorgant worry for Cherries

Posted Tuesday, September 16, 2014 by PA

Bournemouth will check on Yann Kermorgant ahead of the visit of Leeds.

The former Charlton forward picked up a shoulder injury in Saturday's draw with Rotherham, leaving his participation against United in real doubt.

Brett Pitman was sent on in place of Kermorgant after his heavy fall and he could get the nod if the 32-year-old misses out as Tokelo Rantie continues to suffer with the injury he picked up while on international duty with South Africa.

Elliott Ward will miss out once more having undergone knee surgery.

Leeds' new signing Adryan is expected to make his first appearance for the club.

The Brazilian midfielder, a season-long loan signing from Flamengo, was an unused substitute in the weekend draw at Birmingham and caretaker boss Neil Redfearn could be tempted to hand him his debut.

Striker Souleymane Doukara is pushing for his first start since recovering from an ankle injury and defender Sam Byram returns to contention after serving a three-game ban.

Leeds two other new signings, striker Brian Montenegro and defender Dario Del Fabro, are not expected to feature.
