Pools strikers could return
Hartlepool boss Mick Wadsworth could have strikers Colin Larkin and Denis Behan fit and available for the trip to Bournemouth.
Larkin has missed five games since being withdrawn halfway through the 0-0 FA Cup first-round draw with Vauxhall Motors at the start of November, while Behan has not been involved since the 2-2 draw with Bristol Rovers and is still suffering with a shoulder problem.
Goalkeepers Scott Flinders and Andy Rafferty remain sidelined by hand injuries which means Jake Kean, who recently extended his loan deal with the club until the new year, will continue to deputise between the sticks.
Teenage striker Billy Greulich also remains on the treatment table with an ankle problem as Pools look to build on a run of one defeat in five league games.
