Dominic Solanke - Takes two shots in defeat Solanke recorded two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-0 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Solanke took multiple shots for the sixth time in seven matches this season, so his ankle is doing just fine. Despite the fact that he couldn't score, the striker was Bournemouth's biggest attacking threat in the 4-0 loss. Solanke proved he's healthy, so he should remain in the starting XI going forward until further notice.

Impact Adams has been dealing with hamstring problems for most of the season, and the talented midfielder is set for another spell sidelined after picking up a new injury. Adams has yet to play in the Premier League this season and recently made his season debut in the Carabao Cup earlier this week.

Dominic Solanke - Still needs to test ankle Solanke still needs to test his ankle ahead of Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "He didn't train yesterday [Thursday]. We will try for sure to...

Impact Solanke hasn't missed a ton of time the last few seasons and is expected to fight through whatever ankle issue he has. If it's more serious than Iraola is leading on, then that's another thing, but if it's simply a tweak with minimal swelling, Solanke is expected to start Saturday with Kieffer Moore an emergency No. 9 option if needed.

Dominic Solanke - Twists ankle midweek Solanke twisted his ankle in Wednesday's Cup match and will be a doubt for Saturday's game against Arsenal, according to manager Andoni Iraola.

Impact It's a quick turnaround for Solanke, who came off the bench Wednesday, scored and then twisted his ankle and had to be subbed off late. He's yet to miss a minute in league play this season, so his absence would be a blow for the Cherries. While Kieffer Moore may be the only other technical No. 9 in the side, Iraola could opt to use one of his wingers in a bit of a false nine role.

Tyler Adams - Active off bench Adams (hamstring) played 20 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Stoke.

Impact Adams returned from a hamstring injury that has kept him off the pitch since joining Bournemouth. The midfielder was added to the matchday squad and played 20 minutes off the bench. Moving forward Adams could compete for a role in the starting XI after completing a big money move from the relegated Leeds.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Smith - Assists Wednesday Smith provided one assist during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Stoke City in the EFL Cup.

Impact Smith got on the scoresheet during Wednesday's win, setting up Dominic Solanke for a late goal. The defender will hope to start earning more chances in the starting XI, though it appears Max Aarons is the first choice at right-back in the Premier League.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Mepham - Dealing with injury Mepham is dealing with an undisclosed injury and has missed the team's last two games, according to manager Andoni Iraola.

Impact Mepham has made a couple appearances off the bench this season and as the fourth center-back on the depth chart, he's not expected to see much more time. Even with Lloyd Kelly injured, he'll still serve in a bench role, assuming he can get back on the squad in upcoming contests.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Adams - Could be option Wednesday Adams (hamstring) has been training and could be an option for Wednesday's Cup match, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "He wants to help, we have to take the decision after trai...

Impact Adams has been on the pitch for a couple weeks and training fully for almost a week, so there's a chance he gets some pitch time in upcoming contests. Of course, given his time away, he won't be given a start immediately and may only be used off the bench prior to the international break in order to get his fitness level back up.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lloyd Kelly - Could be out until international break Kelly suffered an injury in Sunday's match that could keep him out until the international break, confirmed manager Andoni Iraola. "It's quite a small injury."

Impact Kelly has battled a couple issues the first couple months of the season and it's another one that will force him to miss some time. Fortunately for the Cherries, they have decent depth on the back line and Marcos Senesi came return to the starting XI to play alongside Illia Zabarnyi at center-back while Kelly is out.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Christie - First assist of season in loss Christie delivered an assist and placed one shot (off-target) in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Brighton.

Impact Christie was a menacing playmaker during the first half on Sunday and delivered the assist for Dominic Solanke's goal. He, along with his Bournemouth teammates, lost momentum and impact in the second half. He was subbed after 82. This was the regular starter's first assist. Given his current form a start may be under threat for the Cherries next against Arsenal.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Solanke - Scores in loss at Seagulls Solanke fired three shots and scored with one of the two he placed on-target in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Solanke put in a mixed performance on Sunday. He scored from an assertive strike after goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen made an error throwing the ball out, but he should have had another when an early chance was squandered through taking too many touches before pulling the trigger. From six appearances (all starts) he has chalked up three goals and an assist.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Milos Kerkez - Concedes own goal in loss Kerkez scored an own goal and placed three crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton.

Impact Kerkez was lively, as usual, in Bournemouth's left-back position. He contributed one interception, two clearances and three tackles. The regular starting Hungarian international could have done more to prevent the own goal, it came off his head into the net but he should have been able to clear it. From six appearances (all starts) he is yet to contribute to a clean sheet.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Concedes three in loss Neto completed two saves and conceded three goals in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Brighton.

Impact Neto could have been better on Sunday, he saved just two of the shots he faced on-target and unluckily conceded an own goal that he could do little to stop. He will need to be sharper for the Cherries next against Arsenal. The Gunners have not lost a game this season and have scored in every match. From six appearances (all starts) he has conceded 11 (1.8 per game), completed 27 saves (4.6 per game, 71 percent) and has delivered just one clean sheet.

Impact Scott isn't anywhere close to return to the first team but the update is still a good one. Scott is working outside and is ramping up his physical work. The attacking midfielder could be a major contributor when fit after impressing during two seasons with Bristol City in the Championship.

Tyler Adams - Training with group Adams is back in team training, but is out for Sunday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "The only one that's different and is not so far away is Tyler Adams,...

Impact Adams could be set to return as soon as a Sept. 30 clash with Arsenal. The defensive midfielder has yet to debut since making the switch to Bournemouth but is nearing a return from the hamstring injury. When fully fit Adams could be given a chance to make the defensive midfield role his own.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Superb midfield performance in draw Cook placed one shot-on-target and two crosses (none accurate) in Sunday's drawless draw with Chelsea.

Impact Cook put in one of his best performances in a Bournemouth shirt on Sunday. The midfielder was highly effective disrupting Chelsea attacks registering five interceptions, three tackles and two clearances. He is not a regular starter (three appearances with two starts) but this performance may earn him that right for the Cherries next against Brighton.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - No shots-on-target in draw Billing placed two shots (none on-target) and a cross (not accurate) in Sunday's scoreless draw with Chelsea.

Impact Billing was active with set pieces and in his traditional holding midfield role on Sunday. Last season's top scorer did not manage to place a shot-on-target and he is yet to score or produce an assist in this campaign.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Solanke - One shot-on-target in draw Solanke registered four shots (one on-target) in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Solanke was dangerous on Sunday harrowing the Chelsea defense, but despite his efforts he only managed to contribute one of the four shots-on-targets that Bournemouth produced. Hopefully his freshly signed contract with the Cherries will settle him into a better scoring trend. From five appearances (all starts) he has scored twice and produced an assist.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Posts heroic clean sheet Neto completed six saves and delivered a clean sheet in Sunday's goalless draw with Chelsea.

Impact Neto was the Bournemouth team hero on Sunday. He saved six on-target efforts, some though spectacular efforts, to deliver his first clean sheet of the season. He will likely have a tougher task in the Cherries next against Brighton. The Seagulls are in strong form and will come into the match buoyed by their victory on Saturday at Old Trafford. From five appearances (all starts) he has conceded eight (1.6 per game) and at 25 saves (5.0 per game, 76 percent) he currently has one of the best saves-per-game statistics in the league.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dango Ouattara - Starting against Chelsea Ouattara is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Ouattara returns from an ankle injury in time to start for Bournemouth on Sunday. The forward makes his season debut on Sunday coming off a one goal, three assist campaign in 19 appearances last year.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Smith - Unused against Bournemouth Smith (strain) was an unused substitute during a two-all draw with Bournemouth.

Impact Smith wasn't brought on for any minutes but was deemed fit for the bench before the international break. The defender should now have the chance to get back on the pitch and compete for a more minutes starting with Sunday's clash against Chelsea.
