Stewart injury blow

Bournemouth goalkeeper Gareth Stewart will be out for four to six weeks after suffering a fractured leg in the FA Cup win over Southend.

Stewart was making his first appearance of the season after suffering an ankle injury in pre-season which saw on-loan Neil Moss take over as number one.

He sustained the injury after 19 minutes of Tuesday's 3-2 victory in a collision with Southend striker Mark Rawle.

Meanwhile Bournemouth are set to sign a deal with stadium contractors Barr to ensure that Dean Court remains in the club's hands.

Barr, who are the club's biggest trade creditors, have agreed to lower an outstanding bill from £1.2m to £700,000 on condition that the Cherries pay them £350,000 in cash in the next few weeks.

Cherries chairman Peter Phillips told BBC Radio Solent: "It's a very good deal for us.

"It will get the stadium finished on three sides, and enable us to do all the things we need to do."
