Notts County face a defensive shortage ahead of their trip to Bournemouth.

Julian Kelly suffered a calf injury during the Magpies' 2-0 FA Cup win over npower Championship outfit Doncaster, while fellow full-back Alan Sheehan is suspended after picking up a booking in the same match.

The duo will be on the sidelines along with centre-backs Sam Sodje (hamstring) and Krystian Pearce (groin), both of whom have failed to shake off the injuries that kept them out of the win at the Keepmoat Stadium last week.

Midfielder Ishmel Demontagnac returns to the fold after completing a three-match suspension to boost Martin Allen's squad.

However, fellow midfielder Gavin Mahon (hamstring), defenders Stephen Hunt (ankle) and Jude Stirling (knee) and goalkeeper Rob Burch (knee) remain unavailable.
