Impact Kelly starts as expected after being brought off in mid week due to cramping. The fullback has started back-to-back matches after returning from a hamstring injury which kept him out the entire month of December.

Lloyd Kelly - Starting against Forest Kelly (cramps) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.
Ryan Christie - High work rate in draw Christie recorded one shot (not on goal), one cross (not accurate) and created a chance cin Thursday's 1-1 draw with West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the...
Impact Christie was active all over the field Thursday. The agile Scotsman made key interventions in defense and midfield but only managed one shot on goal. His pressure on Kalvin Phillips led to the Hammers new loanee making a soft back pass that Dominic Solanke snapped up and put in the net. The regular starting midfielder has improved over the season, but it has been 10 matches since his last assist and he is yet to get on the scoresheet.

Antoine Semenyo - Two shots on goal in draw Semenyo registered three shots (two on goal) and created a chance in Thursday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
Impact Semenyo applied his usual aggressive, disruptive attacking style down Bournemouth's attacking right flank Thursday. He showed no sign of fatigue from his Africa Cup of Nations duties, contributing two of the four shots that the Cherries placed on goal. He was denied scoring from one of these efforts only due to an excellent double save from Alphonse Areola. He was subbed after 68 minutes. The Cherries use Semenyo as a starter or to provide attacking energy in the latter part of matches. He is always a handful for defenders to manage but it has been seven appearances since he last found the net.

Dominic Solanke - Goal 13 in London Stadium draw Solanke scored with his only effort on goal. He also created two chances in Thursday's 1-1 draw with West Ham United.
Impact Solanke continued to exhibit his usual high work rate Thursday, being active in defense, midfield and attacking actions. He did only manage one shot on goal but it got the Cherries on the scoreboard. The sharp striker demonstrated how predatory and dangerous he can be in the box when he capitalized on a lazy backpass from Kalvin Phillips to slip the ball onto the net. It was his 13th goal, only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland have scored more. He has a good chance of building on his tally in Bournemouth's next against Nottingham. Forest have not posted a clean sheet in their last 12 EPL matches.

Neto - Concedes from spot kick in draw Neto had two saves and allowed one goal in Thursday's 1-1 draw with West Ham United.
Impact Neto had a quiet game Thursday. His conceded goal was via a James Ward-Prowse spot kick but he managed to save the two other shots he faced on goal. It has been four matches since the Brazilian last posted a clean sheet. He faces Nottingham Forest in the Cherries next, Forest have managed to find the net in each of their last five EPL encounters.

Lloyd Kelly - Available Sunday Kelly (cramps) was brought off during Thursday's clash due to cramps, according to manager Andoni Iraola.
Impact Kelly's injury Thursday was downplayed by Iraola, a good sign that Kelly should be able to go straight away Sunday. If Kelly has any concerns it would likely open the door for Milos Kerkez to get back in the starting XI after he replaced Kelly on Thursday.

Dango Ouattara - Back from AFCON Ouattara (AFCON) is back with Bournemouth ahead of Sunday's clash with Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth announced.
Impact Ouattara and Burkina Faso were eliminated from AFCON earlier in the week and now the wide midfielder has return to the club. He will likely be back on the bench, as most of his minutes before his departure came as an emergency fill-in at left-back. With Milos Kerkez now fit once more Ouattara won't be called upon to deputize on the left side of the defense moving forward.
FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Enes Unal - Still waiting for visa Unal is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Nottingham Forest while waiting for his visa, Bournemouth announced.
Impact Unal may not be able to make his full Bournemouth debut Sunday as he remains in Spain awaiting his visa approval. While there's no predicting how long that process may take, Unal should be linking up with Bournemouth soon. If he can't go Sunday, Unal will likely target a Feb. 10 trip to Fulham to make his debut.

Enes Unal - Headed to Cherries Unal completed a loan move to Bournemouth from Getafe, the club announced.
Impact Unal has been linked to Bournemouth for weeks and now gets his loan move to the Cherries. The forward has been hampered by injuries, but when fit he's been incredible for Getafe, scoring 16 and 14 goals in his last two full seasons. Unal will hope to provide a new strike partner for the red-hot Dominic Solanke.

Lloyd Kelly - Limps off Kelly limped off with an apparent injury during the second half of Thursday's clash with West Ham.
Impact Kelly needed some treatment on the pitch before the medical staff decided he couldn't carry on. The defender was replaced by Milos Kerkez, who would likely see more chances in the starting XI, especially if Kelly is injured. Kelly has a short turnaround before a Sunday clash with Nottingham Forest.
FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Smith - Starting against West Ham Smith (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against West Ham.
Impact Smith is back on the team sheet after missing the club's previous match against Liverpool, having recovered from an undisclosed issue. However, he is lining up outside of his regular right-back spot, instead taking over in the defensive midfield to face West Ham. He will hope to avoid the injury report from here on out, as he started in seven straight matches before the issue.
FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Dango Ouattara - Not with team Ouattara (not injury-related) is out for Thursday's contest against West Ham.
Impact Ouattara is not yet back with the team, as he is still in Burkina Faso following his team's elimination from the AFCON. The attacker should be expected to return before Sunday's contest against Nottingham, where he will most likely return to the bench, only starting five times all season.
FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Smith - Available for West Ham match Smith (undisclosed) is expected to be on the team sheet for Wednesday's match against West Ham, the club reported.
Impact Smith hasn't been on the field since New Year's Eve after going down injured against Tottenham but appears to be fit once again as he is expected to suit up against West Ham. The club will be happy to have the right-back join the team again, as before his injury, he had started in the club's previous seven contests. It is still unsure if the player will be reintroduced into the starting XI immediately or not, as the club may want to be cautious with the player after just becoming healthy.

Romain Faivre - Recalled from loan Faivre has had his loan deal with Lorient terminated and will return to Bournemouth, his parent club announced Wednesday.
Impact Faivre will return to England for the second half of the season, having been recalled from his loan in France with Lorient. The 25-year-old had been on loan with the Lorient since the midway point of last season, recording 34 appearances with them since then. 30 of those came as starts, while he also racked up 10 goals and four assists. With David Brooks recently transferring out of the club, Faivre seems to be his replacement after being recalled. In that case, he will most likely fill a rotational spot on the bench, getting time here and there, but he shouldn't be expected to be a regular starter.

James Hill - Suffers ankle injury Hill suffered a likely high ankle sprain in Thursday's FA Cup match, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "He is feeling pain in the ankle, so I suppose it is going to be a high ank...
Impact It's yet another full-back injury for Bournemouth, who only recalled Hill from his loan because they were already short. The return of Lloyd Kelly and Milos Kerkez is helpful, but now there's a question as to who will play right-back for the Cherries. Lewis Cook moved them following Hill's injury Thursday, but Kelly was already off the pitch at that point.

Milos Kerkez - Plays 45 in FA Cup clash Kerkez (foot) returned to action Thursday against Swansea in the FA Cup, getting 46 minutes of play in the 5-0 win.
Impact Kerkez looked to have never been injured in his return Thursday, as he was all over in the defense, sliding around and making tackles despite this being his first match back from a foot issue. He has missed the club's past four contests in league play due to the injury, and will now hope to gain back his starting role, as he had started in the team's previous three games leading up to his knock.

James Hill - Comes off injured in FA Cup Hill had to leave the field after 57 minutes of play Thursday, having picked up an apparent leg injury in their 5-0 win against Swansea in the FA Cup.
Impact Hill, unfortunately, looked to have been in a lot of pain after trying to give his injury a second go following a slip and twist of the leg that caused the injury. It is not what the defender was looking for going into the match, as he has started the club's past four contests across all competitions and appears to be shaping a spot out for himself. He will hope for the injury to only be minor and to possibly be back on the field for next Thursday's match against West Ham.

Antoine Semenyo - Returning from international duty Semenyo is traveling back from AFCON and might be available for the squad against Swansea City on Thursday. Manager Andoni Iraola told reporters, "He's traveling right now and he's...
Impact Considering Semenyo started seven of his last eight appearances for the club, he should be in contention to reclaim his spot in the starting XI against West Ham United on Feb. 1. In those contests, the attacking midfielder recorded one goal on 19 shots (10 on target), one assist and six crosses (one accurate).

Milos Kerkez - Could return Thursday Kerkez (foot) might be ready to play against Swansea in Thursday's FA Cup match. Manager Andoni Iraola told reporters, "The only one who I think will try to train today, and knowin...
Impact Kerkez has been out of action for the club's last four matches but is back training with the squad. Even if the left-back is unavailable versus Swansea, he almost certainly will be ready to return for the club's next Premier League matchup with West Ham United on Feb. 1. This would allow Llyod Kelly to potentially move to the right side of the backline.
