Lewis Cook - Active off bench Cook (knee) played 19 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Cook came off the bench for 19 minutes Saturday as he made his way back from a knee injury. The midfielder was sidelined for five matches while he recovered but has been in training for over a week. Cook should be a full go moving forward, though that might be a role on the bench.

Jefferson Lerma - Out with injury Lerma was not involved in Saturday's defeat against Arsenal due to an undisclosed injury, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil told the Bournemouth Daily Echo after the game.

Impact Lerma "felt some tightness" after last weekend's loss to Manchester City and was ruled out of the Arsenal game on Saturday, the first time this season in which he's been unavailable for a Premier League match. Joe Rothwell replaced him in midfield, but Lerma will hope to return by the Liverpool clash next weekend.

Hamed Junior Traoré - Misses Arsenal game with injury Traore was not involved in Saturday's defeat against Arsenal due to an injury, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil told the Bournemouth Daily Echo after the game.

Impact Traore "felt some tightness" after last weekend's loss to Manchester City and was ruled out of the Arsenal game on Saturday, with Antoine Semenyo replacing him on the left wing. Traore's next opportunity to return will be the Liverpool clash next weekend.

Dominic Solanke - Just one shot-on-target in loss Solanke placed one shot-on-target in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Solanke was unable to be impactful on Saturday as his team faced a dominant Arsenal side that bossed 80% of the possession. He did not get much service from his midfield but was dangerous when he did get the ball. As has been usual for the striker he was not afraid to come back and help out his defense when needed. Given Bournemouth's poor performance it will be difficult for him to get the support he needs to score much in the remainder of the season. He is one of the weaker strikers in the EPL, from 20 appearances (19 starts) he has scored three and provided four assists.

Marcos Senesi - Scores in loss Senesi scored from his only shot-on-target in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Senesi scored his second of the season on Saturday. It was a perfectly executed header delivered from a Joe Rothwell corner. The defender was busy in his core defensive duties (12 clearances, two blocks, an interception and a tackle) in a game where his opponent enjoyed 80% of the possession, but he again demonstrated that he can get on the scoresheet.

Joe Rothwell - Delivers first assist Rothwell created an assist and placed two crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Rothwell was the Cherries principal set-piece actor on Saturday, taking all their free kicks and corners. The precision in his execution was excellent, his corner kick was placed perfectly for Marcos Senesi to head the ball home for Bournemouth's second and he created a number of his team's main opportunities. From 10 appearances (two starts) this was his first assist.

Neto - Concedes three despite strong performance Neto pulled off six saves, a clearing punch and conceded three in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal. He also picked up a yellow card.

Impact Neto, the captain, put in a strong performance by making some impressive saves and showing confidence when dealing with corners and set pieces. His conceded goals were a symptom of the continual barrages from an overwhelmingly dominant Arsenal team. The starting keeper has now conceded 20 (1.3 per game) and delivered just three clean sheets, but at 52 saves he has the third best saves-per-game statistic in the EPL. The Brazilian will likely have another challenging time in the Cherries next against Liverpool.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - Scores in opening seconds of game Billing scored from his only shot-on-target in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal.

Impact Billing had an impactful game on Saturday. He struck Bournemouth's opening goal in the opening seconds of the game, it was his first strike since November and he is now the Cherries top scorer. Billing is a good-value fantasy midfielder. He can score goals, provide assists and is always active racking up defensive points (he executed four clearances, three tackles and two interceptions). The regular starter has now scored five and made an assist.

David Brooks - Not ready for Arsenal game Brooks (hamstring) is close to making his return for Bournemouth but won't be available for the Arsenal match on Saturday, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Brooks has been out with this hamstring injury since September, and "There's a few little bits to tick off, final hurdles to get over before he's back involved," O'Neil said Friday. "But hopefully very, very soon."

Marcus Tavernier - Ruled out once more Tavernier (hamstring) will not be available for Saturday's clash against Arsenal, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil confirmed in his press conference Friday.

Impact O'Neil says that Tavernier is dealing with "a slight hamstring issue" that's "not too serious," and he's hopeful that Tavernier can return to the squad in one of Bournemouth's upcoming games against Liverpool and Aston Villa prior to the March international break.

Lloyd Kelly - Close to returning Kelly (calf) was "back on the grass" with Bournemouth on Friday and might be a game time decision for the Arsenal game on Saturday, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil said in his pres...

Impact Kelly has been out since January with a calf injury, but O'Neil says he's "close" to returning to fitness. If he's not available for Saturday's match against Arsenal, he will hope to be ready by the clash with Liverpool next weekend.

Lewis Cook - Available for Saturday Cook (knee) has been training with Bournemouth and "will join the squad" for Saturday's clash against Arsenal, according to manager Gary O'Neil on Friday.

Impact Cook has returned after missing Bournemouth's last five games with a knee injury he suffered in mid-January. He will hope to see some playing time against Arsenal, even if he may not be able to start yet in midfield.

Illia Zabarnyi - Participates in running drills Zabarnyi (ankle) was seen working on the grass individually Thursday.

Impact Zabarnyi has yet to make his debut for the team since signing from Dynamo Kyiv with an ankle problem. He is making progress in his road to recovery, having participated in running drills individually. The defender would need to complete at least a full week of training in order to be an option for the team, where he will begin on the bench until he can work up to be an option to start.

Dominic Solanke - Ineffective in bruising defeat Solanke fired three shots (none on-target) in Saturday's 4-1 rout by Manchester City.

Impact Solanke was not able to make a difference on Saturday. He has been in decent form recently (scored and provided an assist in his previous three matches) but City clinically marked him and easily neutralized any threat he posed. Where he did have chances he did not execute them well. He is likely to have the same challenges in Bournemouth's next game against league leaders Arsenal. The regular starter has scored just three goals and delivered four assists.
