Bradbury Closing In On Returning To First Team

Lee Bradbury returned to action in a midweek reserve encounter against Swindon Town (the Cherries lost 3-0). Speaking about the return of Bradbury, manager Eddie Howe is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "It was good to see Bradders back. I thought he did okay in different positions. His versatility will be a good asset for us to have back. Bradders has a great attitude to the game and he's a really good pro, so I'm delighted to have him back fit. We'll see how he is in the next couple of days to see whether he'll be involved on Saturday. It's a big ask because he's been out for a number of weeks, so we'll have to assess how he is. But he's a good option to have because he can play right-back, wide in midfield, up front and, at a push, possibly centre-half".
