Antoine Semenyo - Scores in loss Semenyo fired three shots, scoring from one of the two he managed on-target. He also placed two crosses (one accurate) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool. He...

Impact Semenyo was lively and dangerous on Saturday. He gave the Cherries an early lead in the game through a confident strike into the roof of the net. The Ghanaian striker is in good form, he scored in a pre-season friendly and consistently exhibits physical strength and talent that is hard for the best defenders to contain. He looks like he will get on the scoresheet again soon.

Neto - Brave performance in loss Neto registered eight saves and conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th minute.

Impact Neto put in a strong performance on Saturday by stopping eight of the 10 shots he faced on-target. He was unlucky not to save a penalty when he got a hand to Mohamed Salah's strike, but was unable to prevent the rebound finish. From the season opening two games he has conceded four and pulled off nine saves.

Lloyd Kelly - Available off bench Saturday Kelly (calf) is available off the bench for Saturday's contest against Liverpool.

Impact Kelly was widely expected to be available for Saturday's clash against the Reds after manager Andoni Iraola said the defender had "trained with us in the last three or four sessions and will be available" during his presser Friday. He's been a regular for the Cherries over the last few seasons, and he might be line to return to the starting lineup sooner than later if he stays healthy going forward.

Lewis Cook - Still not ready for training Cook (hip) did not train with the team this week and will not be an option for Saturday's match against Liverpool. "Lewis Cook we'll look at on a more week-to-week basis, he hasn't...

Impact Cook continues to be sidelined with a hip injury, delaying his season debut even more. He's still expected to return as just a bench option, with Joe Rothwell and Philip Billing the preferred option to start at the defensive midfield for the team.

Lloyd Kelly - Will be option Saturday Kelly (calf) has "trained with us in the last three or four sessions and will be available," according to manager Andoni Iraola.

Impact Kelly returned to training this week, though it's doubtful he'll be thrown into the starting XI against Liverpool. Once fully healthy, his spot in the squad will have to be determined, as he's been a regular when healthy the last three seasons with the Cherries. Following the opener, it's a wonder where he fits into the squad, whether as a full-back or center-back.

Lewis Cook - Out via injury Cook missed Saturday's draw with West Ham due to a hip injury, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "I think Lew is more day-to-day. Let's see the evolution. He had some issue in th...

Impact Cook is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Liverpool but still is expected to return before the international break. When fit the midfielder offers a consistent presence off the bench though it's unclear if he'll be able to compete for a spot in the starting XI after struggling in 2022-23.

Bournemouth's summer of spending has made them more ruthless, more bullish, more intentional Bournemouth defied the odds and expectations by signing Alex Scott and Max Aarons last week - is this the dawn of a bolder approach?

Dango Ouattara - To miss time with ankle injury Ouattara will miss multiple weeks due to an ankle injury.

Impact Manager Andoni Iraola noted "I think Dango will be out for some weeks, because he had an ankle injury. Right now I think he will be out for some games." The blow guarantees most minutes to Dominic Solanke in the forward role with a possible increase of playing time as a backup for Kieffer Moore.

Joe Rothwell - Impressive work rate in draw Rothwell fired a shot (not on-target), placed seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Rothwell was a "live wire" in the Cherries midfield on Saturday. He was all over the field moving with pace and harrowing the Hammers midfield. New Cherries manager, Andoni Iraola, has injected a more urgent pace into his team's play, Rothwell will be a pivotal contributor to that style this season which should lead to assists in coming matches.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - Active playmaker in draw Billing had two shots (none on-target), two crosses (one accurate) and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus West Ham United.

Impact Billing played a key role in the Cherries draw on Saturday. He was dangerous orchestrating set pieces and when on the ball. From this performance, the Dane looks like he is picking up where he left off last season; he was the Cherries top scorer and arguably their best midfielder.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

David Brooks - Dangerous, but no goals or assists Brooks registered four shots (two on-target), seven crosses (none accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Brooks looked sharp and dangerous on Saturday. He was a key playmaker and contributed two of the five shots that the Cherries had on-target, one shot was denied only by agile goalkeeping from Alphonse Areola. He was subbed after 75. The Welsh international will be one to watch this season, he scored in three of the Cherries five pre-season friendlies.

Dominic Solanke - Finds net in draw Solanke placed three shots, scoring with one of the two he had on-target. He also created two chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Solanke was responsible for two of the five shots that the Cherries had on-target on Saturday. His team were solid in midfield but provided him with few scoring opportunities. It had been nine matches since the striker's last goal.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Concedes one in draw Neto made a save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Neto conceded one from the three shots he faced on-target on Saturday. He did not make many distinguishing contributions, the goal he conceded was a powerful strike from Jarrod Bowen that he had little chance to stop. The Brazilian delivered two clean sheets and conceded six in the Cherries five pre-season friendlies.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Available off bench Saturday Semenyo (lower leg) is available off the bench for Saturday's game against West Ham United.

Impact Semenyo returned to training two weeks before the start of the campaign, so it's not surprising to see him available off the bench. The striker could make his Premier League debut here after spending the last four seasons playing for Bristol City in the EFL.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Solanke - Starting against Hammers Solanke (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against West Ham.

Impact Similar to what happened with Ryan Christie, who was also doubtful due to a minor injury, Solanke was deemed fit enough to start in the season opener. He will lead the attacking line after notching six goals and seven assists last season and will slot as the lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 setup.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Christie - Starting against West Ham Christie (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against West Ham.

Impact There weren't many doubts regarding Christie's availability for the season opener, as manager Andoni Iraola had stated the injury was nothing more than a small issue. Christie should be in line for a big role on the left side of the Cherries' attack.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Scott - Out long-term Scott is expected to miss the opening months of the Premier League, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "For the start of the season, the first couple of months he'll be out."

Impact Scott is expected to miss multiple months with the knee injury he was dealing with before joining Bournemouth. The forward will provide an interesting option in what is on paper a disappointing Bournemouth attack. That said with such a serious knee injury it's likely there will be plenty of training before he's ready for any sort of return to the pitch.
