AFC Bournemouth vs Sheffield Wed. preview - Rantie back for Bournemouth



Posted Friday, April 17, 2015 by PA

Bournemouth have Tokelo Rantie available as they look to move a step closer to promotion with three points against Sheffield Wednesday.

The South African forward's participation in the run-in looked in doubt with knee and ankle problems but he fired in two goals in a midweek friendly victory over Leyton Orient and is likely to be involved against the Owls.

Eunan O'Kane and Dan Gosling both got some minutes under their belts in that match along with the experienced Ian Harte.

The Cherries have secured at least a play-off spot and currently lead the table ahead of the weekend's fixtures.

Sheffield Wednesday boss Stuart Gray will select his starting XI from an unchanged squad.

Gray has no new injury or suspension problems following his side's midweek win against Brentford, while none of his injured players are expected to feature.

Defender Claude Dielna (hamstring), striker Will Keane (ankle) and skipper Glenn Loovens (hamstring) all remain sidelined.

Midfielder Jose Semedo (ankle), out of action since early March, has had an injection to aid his recovery but will play no part at the weekend.
