KEVIN Bond has revealed he is keen to bring Bjarni Vidarsson back to Cherries for another loan spell.
The Icelandic midfielder came on a substitute during the 2-0 defeat at Blackpool on Tuesday - the last game of his existing one-month deal.
But with injuries once again cutting deep into his resources, Bond will wait on the fitness of his walking wounded before making a decision on whether he will delve into the loan market again.
Bond told the Daily Echo: "I'll certainly be looking to take Bjarni again if I can.
"But it depends whether Everton want to let him out again, whether the boy himself wants to get out on loan again and our injury situation. I haven't spoken to either David Moyes or Bjarni about it yet.
"I was pleased with how he did for us. He gave us some real balance, chipped in with an important goal up at Oldham and certainly gave us something different."
If bringing Vidarsson back to Dean Court is ruled out, Bond is well aware that he will need to supplement the squad - particularly with the ongoing injury concerns surrounding natural left-winger Steve Foley.
The Dubliner underwent an epidural in London yesterday in a bid to cure the ongoing back complaint that has kept him out since the 4-0 home loss to Port Vale in December.
Cherries physio Steve Hard explained: "Everything went well, but now we have to see how it is over the next week or two to see if it takes effect.
"We've tried a few things and this is another option. It's not guaranteed to work, but it has worked for other players in the past.
"It certainly helped Karl Broadhurst with his back injury last season - and some of their symptoms are the same."
Bond said: "That left side of the pitch is a priority at the moment, but it's not easy to find people at this time of the season.
"We are struggling like mad with injuries, so I'll have to have a look at things over the next few days. We're missing Darren Anderton, Marcus Browning and we have no idea when Steve Foley might be fit again.
"If they are all out for a while, I will certainly need to do something on the loan front if at all possible."
