Ryan Fredericks - Sidelined again Tuesday Fredericks (undisclosed) will miss his third straight match in Tuesday's clash with Manchester United.
Impact Fredericks has been limited to just eight matches (five starts) this season due to injury concerns. When fit, the defender is capable of generating both crosses and clearances but is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value even once fit enough to return.

David Brooks - Working toward fitness Brooks (hamstring) "is doing well" in his recovery but still needs time, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "He's moving well on the grass so, hopefully, he will be back around the...
Impact This isn't an overly confident update on Brooks, who probably has another week before he's in some kind of training for Bournemouth. He's yet to appear for the team this season, as immediately after he returned from a battle with cancer, he suffered a hamstring injury which he's been dealing with for more than three months now.
JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Neto - Still working on side Neto (hamstring) has yet to return to training, as he continues work on the sides, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "He shouldn't be too far away but as he has been out for a long...
Impact It looks like another couple weeks for Neto, as he'll need some full training before he returns to the starting XI. Mark Travers has been a noticeable downgrade when in the squad for Bournemouth and he'll likely need to start at least three more matches until Neto is ready to play again.
JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Tavernier - Expected out few more weeks Tavernier is expected to miss a few more weeks with his hamstring injury, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "We're not sure exactly, it depends how well he progresses but it's look...
Impact O'Neil finally has somewhat of a timeline for Tavernier and it's not a good one. He's already been out a few weeks and this timeline puts him out more than a month with the injury. Bournemouth haven't looked right without their playmaker on the wing the last two matches and they'll hope someone can provide a spark until Tavernier is ready to return.

MATCHDAY: Arsenal welcomes Newcastle in EPL leaders' clash
English Premier League leader Arsenal hosts third-placed Newcastle on TuesdayJANUARY 2, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mark Travers - Concedes two in loss Travers conceded two, made four saves and two punches in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Impact Travers made a series of big saves on Saturday that helped mitigate the Bournemouth goal deficit. The goals conceded were more down to poor defensive support than goalkeeping errors. From 10 appearances (nine starts) he has now conceded 28 and completed 28 saves. At 2.8 goals conceded per game he currently has the weakest record in the EPL.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dominic Solanke - Just one shot-on-target in loss Solanke fired two shots (one on-target) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace. He also picked up a yellow card.
Impact Solanke was livelier in attack than he has been in recent games but was starved of service in a match where Bournemouth were outclassed by Palace. He was unlucky not to score with the one shot-on-target he did manage. The regular starting striker has scored just three goals and provided three assists. It is unlikely he will improve his statistics in Bournemouth's next against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kieffer Moore - No shots-on-target in loss Moore fired two shots (none on-target) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Impact Moore had very little service on Saturday in a game that Palace dominated. He had no shots-on-target but he is the Cherrie's target man from set pieces and usually wins aerial duels in these situations (he won all five aerial duels he was involved in). It is unlikely his service will get better in Bournemouth's next against Manchester United at Old Trafford. From 17 appearances (10 starts) he has scored four times.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lloyd Kelly - Credible defensive performance in loss Kelly made three clearances, two interceptions and a block in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. He also picked up a yellow card.
Impact Kelly, the captain, controlled Bournemouth's defense well on Saturday in a game where Palace dominated possession and the attacking plays. This was just his second game back from a knee injury sustained in September. Early in the season he delivered two assists from his first five games, over the coming weeks it is likely he will regain his ability to deliver attacking fantasy points to complement his consistently solid defensive scoring.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Philip Billing - Subbed due to injury in loss Billing had a quiet game on Saturday in the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. He did not manage any shots-on-target.
Impact Billing was lively during the game on Saturday, making important passes and touches, but failed to score many fantasy points with attacking or defending actions. He was subbed after 73 with an injury which will likely put him in doubt for Bournemouth's next against Manchester United. From 17 appearances (15 starts) he has found the net four times and contributed an assist. His recent form though has been waning, it has been five games since his last goal.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaidon Anthony - Unproductive playmaker in loss Anthony fired 10 crosses (four accurate) and engaged in five tackles during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Impact Anthony secured a rare start on Saturday (only his second of the season). He played in the right back position rather than his more familiar attacking role, stepping in to backfill the injured Marcus Tavernier. He scored good defensive points but despite being one of Bournemouth's key free kick and corner playmakers he did not deliver any assists. He was subbed after 80. With Tavernier out for some weeks with a hamstring problem it is likely Anthony will get starts in the next few games. He does needs to find better form providing assists and scoring (only two goals this season).
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Tavernier - Out against Palace Tavernier is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Impact Tavernier misses out on the match as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. The attacker is a big miss for the Cherries as one of the key men going forward for the club.

Chelsea's Reece James to miss up to a month with knee injury
Chelsea is expecting Reece James to be sidelined for up to a month after the England defender sustained a recurrence of his knee injury in the 2-0 Premier League victory over Bourn...DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Marcus Tavernier - Dealing with hamstring injury Tavernier has been dealing with a hamstring injury and has already missed a couple weeks, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "He's been out a couple of weeks already. We're not sure...
Impact Tavernier was thrown into a bunch of players who had an illness a week ago, but it's a different situation for him and clearly not a good one. He's already missed a couple weeks with a hamstring injury and if it's a normal issue, he could be headed for a couple more weeks on the sidelines. After Jack Stacey started Tuesday, it could be either Ryan Christie or Jaidon Anthony in the starting XI Saturday against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea beats Bournemouth 2-0, loses Reece James to injury
After missing the World Cup because of a knee injury, Reece James sparked fears of a fresh setback when he limped off during Chelsea’s 2-0 win against BournemouthDECEMBER 27, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dominic Solanke - No shots-on-target in defeat Solanke placed two shots (none on-target) in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
Impact Solanke actively harassed the Chelsea defense on Tuesday when the opportunity arose but he continues to be poor at converting potential opportunities into on-target shots on goals. He did not contribute to any of Bournemouth's four shots-on-target. The regular starting striker has contributed just three goals and assists this season.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Philip Billing - Strong defensive performance in loss Billing executed two clearances, two interceptions and a tackle in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
Impact Billing has been one of Bournemouth's most effective attacking players this season, but on Tuesday his contribution was largely defensive. He did manage one shot which was off-target and was subbed after 66. The regular starting midfielder has scored four goals and created an assist this season. There is a good chance he will re-start scoring offensive fantasy points in the Cherries next against Crystal Palace. Palace have lost their last two and not kept a clean sheet in their last three.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lloyd Kelly - Makes six clearances in defeat Kelly produced six clearances in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea.
Impact Kelly, the captain, played a crucial role on Tuesday to limit Chelsea's scoring. His six clearances were critical in defending dangerous set pieces and his broader defensive duties notched up a solid set of fantasy points. He is a good value fantasy choice as a defender that can also score attacking metrics. He has provided two assists in his last six games.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Travers - Concedes two in loss Travers conceded two and pulled off three saves in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Impact Travers made three important saves on Tuesday to prevent his team enduring a heavier defeat. He will likely start in Bournemouth's next against Crystal Palace while regular first choice keeper, Neto, is still injured. The Irish goalkeeper currently has the highest goals conceded per game in the EPL (2.9). He has now conceded 26, saved 24 and delivered just two clean sheets.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Tavernier - Not in squad Tuesday Tavernier (illness) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.
Impact Tavernier misses out Tuesday with an illness that has been bugging him for a few days now. It's a tough absence for Bournemouth, who are going with more of a defensive look, as Ryan Christie and Jaidon Anthony are both on the bench despite Tavernier missing out.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jefferson Lerma - Good to go Tuesday Lerma (knee) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.
Impact Lerma is good to go out of the break after dealing with a knee issue the past couple weeks. He's been a regular in Bournemouth the first half of the season despite a managerial change and that probably won't change, though he's managed just 14 shots and five chances created in 16 starts.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lloyd Kelly - Starting against Chelsea Kelly (ankle) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.
Impact Kelly returns to the XI Tuesday after recovering over the World Cup break. He last appeared in early September, but he's apparently fit and ready to go. He captains the side and is arguably the team's best center-back, which is a boost for the Cherries following the break, though that doesn't mean they'll start a run of clean sheets against Chelsea, as Chris Mepham moves to the bench.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lloyd Kelly - Continues to train with squad Kelly (ankle) is training with the first team but remains in doubt against Chelsea on Tuesday. Manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Lloyd is back in training. Obviously, he's had a...
Impact Unfortunately for fantasy players, Kelly's availability appears to be on a match-to-match basis with no clear timeline available of when he might feature. With the central defender having not played since Sept. 3 versus Nottingham Forest, he may have to make an appearance or two off the bench before being thrust right into the starting XI.
