Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson is unconcerned by potentially dwindling squad numbers as injuries take their grip.
Left winger Sam Foley limped off during he first half of Saturday's clash with Oldham Athletic, whilst talisman Gavin Williams was replaced on 63 minutes just moments after a crunching tackle.
Joe Edwards has returned to Bristol City following the completion of his loan spell, a week after Korey Smith headed back to Norwich City.
Ahead of the Boxing Day npower League One meeting with AFC Bournemouth, Johnson said: "We had a couple of days not to have to worry about that.
"The injured lads will be well looked after and the ones not injured will have their recovery programmes and we will have to see what happens.
"We were just about to bring on Keanu Marsh-Brown before the third goal but he was unlucky and is champing at the bit, as is Gozie Ugwu and Reuben Reid who looked sprightly when he came on."
Johnson addd he had faith in the Glovers' strength in depth and said: "I am not going to worry about it until I know we are struggling.
"We can't do anything about it. We have had a scholar on the bench in Mitch Brundle who has been training with us and there is also Will Agbo as well and they are both comfortable sitting on the bench.
"We can only use three substitutes. We have got the experience of (keeper coach) Gareth Stewart and we knew we could go to him if Marek Stech had gone down injured against Oldham Athletic.
"I'm not going to worry. I like smaller squads because I like the feeling of them knowing they are heavily involved every week."
The Glovers welcome back Fulham loan defender Dan Burn for the trip to Dorset after serving a one-game ban for five bookings.
