Marcus Tavernier (hamstring) is back in training this week and will be assessed to see if he can play for Bournemouth against West Ham United.
“Tav has started training with us and that is very good news, but I don’t know if he will be ready for tomorrow or not. We will train today and see how he feels and make a decision from there. But if it is not for tomorrow, it will be for the next one.” – Andoni Iraola about Marcus Tavernier
Master Akinmobi recently highlighted for those under 21 after months on the sidelines with a muscle injury.

There are no new concerns for the Cherries.
“[We have had] some more training for the last ones we found, Tyler Adams, Brooksy, [so] that they are ready for tomorrow. No new injuries, so it’s good news overall, I would say.” – Andoni Iraola
Away from the team news, there was plenty of talk from the Bournemouth boss about the budget That’s Kroupi Junior.
“I think with Junior, with Evanilson, I don’t judge them by the goals. Goals are important, but it doesn’t give you any guarantees.” [of a good performance/result].
“I prefer him to do everything and then if he scores a goal, great. But it gives me the guarantee that we don’t lose the match because I put this player above the other player. I think I’m very satisfied because we score goals in total. It’s not about number 9, number 7. If the team scores goals, okay, you play. The team scores goals, perfect, you continue playing. I don’t care if you’re the one who puts the ball on the net or if he’s the one who plays the ball. puts the ball on the net next to you.
“I’m not going to tell Junior how to finish, how to set the feet so you can score. He’s great at doing this. I’m not going to show him anything in that area. I have to tell him what the team needs so he can be on the field, so he can score his goals and make his plays. And I think he’s improving a lot. He’s improving a lot because it’s kind of a new position for him.”
“It’s not that different. When we play with Eva and Junior, we actually play with two strikers, but there are some demands on the ball, off the ball, that both have to do, and I think they do it well. Recently also with Enes [Unal]they played together for thirty minutes, so it’s good that he has more relationships. I am happy with Junior, if he starts or if he comes off the bench last.” – Andoni Iraola
