AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion preview - Cherries sweating on Boruc

Bournemouth will wait on goalkeeper Artur Boruc before naming their side to face Brighton.

The Cherries have enjoyed one of the most memorable week's in their history having thumped Birmingham 8-0 before making history with their first Capital One Cup quarter-final appearance, secured thanks to a midweek win over Premier League West Brom.

But Pole Boruc sustained a knock to his knee in that emphatic victory over Blues and is being monitored by the club's medical staff in the build up to kick-off.

His deputy Lee Camp was one of 10 changes against the Baggies and Eddie Howe is likely to recall a number of players including Callum Wilson, Charlie Daniels, Matt Ritchie and Simon Francis.

Brighton will also check on their goalkeeper, David Stockdale, after he missed the midweek cup defeat at Tottenham.

Stockdale pulled out after injuring a finger in training 24 hours earlier, leading to a senior debut for 18-year-old rookie Christian Walton at White Hart Lane.

Sam Baldock returns after he was cup-tied against Spurs while fellow striker Craig Mackail-Smith came on as a late sub in the 2-0 loss having recovered from a hamstring injury.

Skipper Gordon Greer was rested on Wednesday and is set to return at the back but right-back Bruno (groin) is a doubt and midfielders Solly March, Dale Stephens and Andrew Crofts are long-term absentees.
