Out of action since undergoing surgery in January, he has been back in training over the last fortnight.
“Justin has been training with the team normally this week. I expect him to be in the squad tomorrow, yes.” – Andoni Iroala on Justin Kluivert
Speaking at Friday’s press conference, Andoni Iraola thinks the Fulham match may come too soon for Lewis Cook (hamstring/calf). Although he is back in training too, and should return in the final two Gameweeks.
“Lew also has been training, not fully, and probably is a little bit behind Justin in the rehab process but is getting there. Probably not for tomorrow but he’s training today normally and we will see. I hope Justin definitely and Lew also can be available for the last two games.” – Andoni Iraola on Lewis Cook
Iraola otherwise reported the usual knocks and niggles.
“No [other injury concerns]. We have, like all the teams in this moment of the season, some niggles, some things, but I hope everyone is available for tomorrow.” – Andoni Iraola
After Iraola’s presser, the Cherries confirmed that Álex Jiménez will not feature against Fulham.
The club are investigating further after posts emerged on social media concerning the right-back.
