Mark Travers - Concedes four in crushing defeat Travers conceded four, made four saves and one punch in Bournemouth's 4-0 mauling by Manchester City on Saturday.

Impact Travers faced seven shots on target. None of the conceded goals could be put down to errors on his part. City tore apart Bournemouth's defense at will to open opportunities for their strikers. The young Irishman did look lively and the scoreline would have been worse for Bournemouth if it were not for his talent stopping a series of on- target strikes from Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne.Hopefully his confidence will be restored for Bournemouth's next encounter against Arsenal back home at the Vitality Stadium.

Jordan Zemura - Out with COVID-19 Zemura is not in Saturday's match day squad to face Manchester City due to testing positive for COVID-19.

Impact Zemura will miss Saturday's match due to the virus, but could return in time for next week's clash with Arsenal depending on how he progresses.

Dominic Solanke - Out with injury Solanke is out of Saturday's squad to face Manchester City due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Solanke's absence is a bit surprising as nothing was known of injury ahead of the release of Saturday's squad list. The forward will hope to return for next week's match with Arsenal.

Joe Rothwell - Expected to remain sidelined Rothwell (quadriceps) is slated to miss up to a month after manager Scott Parker told reporters, "Joe's a little bit behind [Ryan Fredericks] and is still not out on the grass at t...

Impact Rothwell started 36 of his 41 appearances for Blackburn in the Championship last season in which he tallied three goals on 33 shots (nine on target), 10 assists and 136 crosses (50 accurate). If he can get fit, Rothwell could be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI where he could offer top-half fantasy value.

Marcos Senesi - Available against City Senesi will be available to make his Premier League debut Saturday against Manchester City, Bournemouth manager Scott Parker said Thursday.

Impact Senesi finalized a move from Feyenoord only this week, but he could already be on the pitch for Bournemouth on Saturday as Parker said, "We don't want to rush him in but for sure, he's going to be involved." He should be expected to take over the starting left-back spot from Jordan Zemura once he's integrated with his new team.

Ryan Fredericks - Set to miss more time Fredericks (calf) is expected to remain sidelined for at least a few more matches with manager Scott Parker told reporters, "Ryan's come on a little bit, he's out on the grass with...

Impact Based on the manager's timeline, Fredericks should be expected to miss at least the next two clashes if not longer. Considering the defender was a frequent unused substitute last season, his continued absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI.

David Brooks - Continues work on fitness Brooks (cancer) continues to ramp up in training, as he works on his fitness, according to manager Scott Parker.

Impact It's a process for Brooks, who has been out since last October following a stage II Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis. It's unclear when he'll be an option for the Cherries, but things seem to be trending in the right direction and he could be available sooner rather than later if all goes well in training.

What Bournemouth fans can expect from new centre-back Marcos Senesi Bournemouth have finally added a fourth natural centre-back to the squad. Senesi can defend, but his passing may also be very useful

AUGUST 10, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Marcus Tavernier - Active in debut Tavernier created three chances from eight crosses (two accurate) and drew five fouls during Saturday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Tavernier had no issues adjusting to the Premier League following a breakout year at Middlesbrough last season. While there aren't any guarantees the defense doesn't fall apart and rob him of possession while pinned back, a consistent Kieffer Moore and Dominic Solanke could see him be this season's highlight contributor from a low-table side as he also projects to be in charge of set pieces.

Argentina defender Senesi joins Bournemouth from Feyenoord

Argentina defender Marcos Senesi has signed for Bournemouth two days after the newly promoted club made a winning start in the English Premier League

Chris Mepham - Excellent defensively in win Mepham made 13 clearances, one block and two tackles (won one) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Mepham led the match in clearances and paved the way for an important win in Bournemouth's season opener. He's a great source of clearances and should be a consideration in favorable matchups moving forward.

Marcos Senesi - Joins Cherries Senesi signed for Bournemouth from Feyenoord on Monday on a four-year deal.

Impact Senesi is coming off his debut for the Argentine national team and is another impressive signing for the Cherries after the arrival of Neto earlier in the week. He's played in nearly every match he could over the last two seasons and was key in his last club's trip to the UEFA Conference League finals and on the back of that effort, he'll help bolster a defense that needs an anchor if Nathaniel Phillips doesn't come back from Liverpool. He adds a bit of depth to the back line, something that is needed in the Premier League, though there's no question he'll fight for starts immediately.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Smith - Extends Bournemouth contract Smith extended his contract with Bournemouth, staying with the club another two years until 2024.

Impact Smith continues to feature for Bournemouth and that looks to be the case in the new season, as the Cherries didn't really add another piece to the back oine. He's a regular in the squad, though his attacking upside remains limited after producing one shot not on target and one inaccurate cross in the opening win against Aston Villa despite playing as a wing-back.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jefferson Lerma - Scores in win Lerma scored from his only shot on target in Bournemouth's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday. He also made three clearances, an interception and a tackle.

Impact Lerma scored Bournemouth's opening goal after less than two minutes by firing the ball into the net following a ping-pong scramble in the penalty area. The Colombian was a key contributor to Bournemouth's defense. His assertive playing style ensured that Villa only had two shots on target despite dominating the ball possession (66%).

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lloyd Kelly - Makes assist in win Kelly made an assist in Bournemouth's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday. He also made 11 clearances, two tackles, an interception and blocked a shot.

Impact Kelly's measured cross provided the assist for Bournemouth's second goal from Kieffer Moore. The Bournemouth captain was instrumental in neutralizing Villa attacks. His defensive contribution ensured that of Villa's 15 shots during the match only two were on target.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kieffer Moore - Scores in win Moore scored from his only shot on target in Bournemouth's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Impact Moore scored Bournemouth's second goal through a powerful header from a Lloyd Kelly cross. The six foot five striker was always a threat in the air but struggled to make a broader impact overall. He did not receive much service from his midfield playmakers in a game where Bournemouth only managed three shots on target.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Travers - Clean sheet in win Travers made two saves in Bournemouth's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Impact Travers was not troubled much in a game where he was only called upon to deal with two straightforward shots on goal. He looked relaxed and moved with confidence when facing attacks and threats. He will likely be put to a tougher test in Bournemouth's next which is against Manchester City at the Etihad, though he also faces competition from incomer Neto.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Tranfers to Bournemouth Neto signed with Bournemouth after leaving Barcelona on a free transfer, it was announced Sunday. He's agreed to a one-year deal.

Impact Neto had traded the starting job at Valencia for a backup gig at Barcelona in the summer of 2018 and now he'll try to see if he hasn't lost his step. Current starter Mark Travers did keep a clean sheet in the opening match of the season against Aston Villa on Saturday but he may not match up to the talents of the Brazilian. This will be one situation to monitor early in the campaign for a team that needs all the help it can get to avoid relegation.
