Bournemouth are investigating posts circulating on social media allegedly involving their right-back Alex Jimenez.

Jimenez, 21, has been dropped from Bournemouth’s squad to face Fulham this weekend as a result of the investigation.

The Premier League club said they were aware of the posts, which they described as being of a serious nature.

“The club understand the seriousness of the matter and it is currently being investigated,” a Bournemouth statement said.

“As a result, Alex will not be included in the squad for tomorrow’s Premier League game against Fulham and the club will be making no further comment at this time.”

Jimenez has made 32 appearances for Bournemouth this season after an initial loan from AC Milan. He joined the club permanently in January.
