Cherries: Howe happy to bring in Stech
Cherries boss Eddie Howe is hoping Marek Stech will help his team to victory at Morecambe today after he recruited the highly-rated goalkeeper on an emergency seven-day loan.[LNB] Howe acted quickly to sign the West Ham United prospect after being given permission by the Football League to bring in a loanee with both Shwan Jalal (calf) and Dan Thomas (back) less than fully fit.[LNB] Czech Republic youth international Stech trained with Cherries last week when Jalal was attempting to overcome an ankle injury.[LNB] The Cherries number one recovered in time to face Barnet, but he then sustained a calf injury in last weekend's win over Shrewsbury.[LNB] And with understudy Thomas also struggling ahead of this afternoon's League Two clash, Howe was given the green light to sign Stech, who the Echo revealed on Thursday was a possible loan target.[LNB] We've seen him in training and he is very, very highly rated by West Ham, said Howe.[LNB] He's previously been on loan at Wycombe so he has that experience.[LNB] Hopefully he will come in and do well.[LNB] Explaining the situation, Howe added: The grade one calf tear means Jalal is not going to be available.[LNB] Dan's back has been plaguing him for a couple of weeks, so it has got to the stage where he is not fit either, so we had to bring someone in.[LNB] We had to go to the league to see if they would let us bring a goalkeeper in and Marek is with us for seven days, upon which time we'll have to see if one of our two keepers is back fit again.[LNB]
