Possibility Saturday Kelly (hip) is questionable for Saturday's match against Everton, as manager Andoni Iraola told reporters "he has a chance" when asked about his availability in the squad.

Impact Kelly looks to be a game-time decision for Saturday's match, appearing to be very close to overcoming his hip issues that have left him out for a little over a month. This is excellent news for the club and player, as he is a regular starter and should be expected to reclaim that role once he is back on the team sheet, having started in all but two contests he has been available for this season. If he does get the nod Saturday, he will hope this is his last spell with injuries of the season, already missing 14 games this season due to his plethora of complications.

It's been an injury-plagued season for the left-back, who is just four matches back from a prior hamstring problem. In his last four outings (all starts), Kelly registered 13 clearances, one shot (on target) and three crosses (one accurate).

Available Sunday Kelly (cramps) was brought off during Thursday's clash due to cramps, according to manager Andoni Iraola.

Impact Kelly's injury Thursday was downplayed by Iraola, a good sign that Kelly should be able to go straight away Sunday. If Kelly has any concerns it would likely open the door for Milos Kerkez to get back in the starting XI after he replaced Kelly on Thursday.

Impact Kelly returning would be a significant boon to the first team with injuries to Milos Kerkez (foot) and Adam Smith (undisclosed) leaving a massive gap at left-back. Still Iraola's outlook on Kelly doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he could go the full 90 against an exhausting Liverpool attack. If Kelly is unable to start or play, it will be Marcus Tavernier who takes over at left-back.

Training away from team Kelly (hamstring) is training away from the group and won't be available to face QPR on Saturday, Iraola revealed in his pre-match press conference. "For me, he's been one of our b...

Impact The fact that the 25-year-old is doing individual work on the grass automatically rules him out for the FA Cup, and there's a chance a return to the starting lineup to face Liverpool on Jan. 21 might be on the cards given that match is more than two weeks away. The Cherries would certainly welcome Kelly back given how depleted they are on the defensive end.

Impact Hamstring injuries tend to be complicated, and it's not surprising to see the Cherries taking a cautious approach with one of their best players this season. It's unclear if Kelly will be available to face Aston Villa on Sunday, but if he doesn't, then Milos Kerkez could be an option to enter on the left side of the defense.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Wolves Kelly (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Wolverhampton.

Impact Kelly returned to training earlier this week, so his return to the lineup isn't surprising, as he's been a top choice at the back when healthy. Kelly has made five appearances (four starts) in 2023/24, racking up nine clearances and four tackles.

Available once more Kelly (undisclosed) is back in training and is an option for Saturday's clash with Wolves, according to manager Andoni Iraola.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
