Bournemouth host Everton at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday in their next Premier League match.
AFC Bournemouth will be looking to get their season moving after a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Manchester City in the opening game. Marcus Tavernier had given the Cherries the lead at the Etihad, but two late strikes ended their hopes and halted their long unbeaten run. Although they left Manchester without any points, head coach Marco Rose will have taken encouragement from the way his side controlled large parts of the match against the champions.
Bournemouth travel to this fixture with a mostly fit squad, as head coach Marco Rose reported no new injury issues after the City game.
They regain a key midfield option with Ryan Christie returning from suspension. New signing Alvaro Rodriguez has finished his recovery and is available for selection.
Nonetheless, several players remain out long term: Amine Adli is sidelined with a calf problem, Eli Junior Kroupi is nursing a foot injury, Veljko Milosavljevic has a knee issue, and Julian Araujo is still treating a thigh strain.
Left-back Julio Soler will be assessed late to determine if he can play. A likely starting XI could be Petrovic in goal, a back four of Smith, Hill, Silva, and Truffert, with Cook, Scott, Rayan, Kluivert, and Tavernier supporting striker Evanilson.
Possible Bournemouth starting XI: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Cook, Scott; Rayan, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evalinson
The match will kick off at 3pm BST on Saturday, 29th August.
In the UK, the match between Bournemouth and Everton will not be available to watch live on TV or via streaming because it falls within the traditional Saturday 3:00 PM BST blackout period.
