BOSS Eddie Howe is anticipating a quiet January transfer window providing Cherries' injury list continues to shorten.[LNB] Howe has several key players ready to hit the comeback trail and at his disposal for the busy festive period.[LNB] Goalkeeper Shwan Jalal, utility man Shaun Cooper, midfielder Harry Arter and striker Michael Symes are all back in full training.[LNB] Long-term injury victim Mark Molesley is also champing at the bit to make a playing return and could be in contention in the next few weeks.[LNB] And Howe says the condition of his existing squad will determine whether or not he needs to bolster his resources next month.[LNB] He told the Daily Echo: First and foremost, we have got to assess where we are in terms of our own injuries and the strength of our squad.[LNB] If we get everyone fit, I don't think we will need to bring in many bodies because I think we are strong enough. If we continue to have problems, we may look to make a move.[LNB] Providing the injury situation continues to improve, I don't think we will be doing a great deal of business.[LNB] When we've got a full-strength squad, we are covered in most positions. I would only bring in someone if I felt they could strengthen the squad.[LNB] Howe confirmed Aldershot striker Marvin Morgan a reported target would not be one of his potential signings should he be looking to add firepower.[LNB]
