Cherries: Bradbury hopeful over key trio
LEE Bradbury will resist the temptation to rush Cherries' key comeback trio but admitted their returns would provide a timely boost to the club's promotion push.[LNB] The Cherries boss has reported positive news on the progress of long-term injury victims Mark Molesley, Steve Lovell and Ryan Garry.[LNB] Molesley, sidelined for more than a year with a persistent foot problem, is at the most advanced stage of his comeback.[LNB] He has already featured for the reserves and is on the verge of bolstering the first team squad, although his bid for match fitness was hampered by the postponement of a midweek friendly.[LNB] Bradbury believes having Molesley available would provide him with a range of fresh options in the Cherries midfield.[LNB] The Dean Court chief told the Echo: Mark was a bit upset the game was called off on Wednesday because he was going to play 90 minutes. That would have been his first 90 minutes since he had been injured.[LNB] He has been training every day and has played a couple of reserve games, building up his time.[LNB] He is not far off being involved in and around the first team again. It would be like having a new signing.[LNB] He has got good quality about him and makes things happen.[LNB] Striker Lovell has yet to play since joining Cherries in the summer due to an ankle injury.[LNB] Bradbury said: Steve is running pain free and is stepping up his training. He works with Louis Langdown (conditioning coach) most days. He is making good progress at the moment.[LNB] I used to play with Steve at Portsmouth and he was my strike partner there for a while. He will definitely cause problems in this league.[LNB] Bradbury, who said Garry was also stepping up his workload, added: If we could get all three of them and Ben Williamson back for the last 10 games, it would be excellent for me to have a full squad to choose from.[LNB] They are all players who can come in and do a great job.[LNB] It is just managing the lads. When they have been out for a long time, they are really keen to get back and get back training every day.[LNB] But you have to put the reins on them a little bit because they can break down again.[LNB] At the same time, I want them all back as soon as possible, so it is difficult for me.[LNB]
