MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Kelly (hip) is out for Saturday's clash with Sheffield United, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "I don't think we will recover anyone ahead of the weekend"

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Tuesday Kelly (hip) will remain unavailable against Leicester City on Tuesday. Manager Andoni Iraola told reporters, "Lloyd Kelly is missing and will continue to be missing this game and m...

Impact At this point, Kelly should be considered a doubt heading into Sunday's matchup with Burnley as well. 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). Milos Kerkez figures to remain in the starting XI with Kelly unavailable.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Out against City Kelly is not in the squad to face Manchester City on Saturday.

Impact Kelly misses out at short notice with no news of an injury in the buildup. Kelly had started four straight matches with Milos Kerkez taking his spot at left back Saturday.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Kelly got the start and played 83 minutes during Sunday's one-all draw with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Kelly was preferred over Milos Kerkez for the second match in a row. The defender has been the top option at left-back since recovering from a hamstring injury that cost him more than a month. Kelly will continue to be a major part of the starting XI moving forward if he can stay fit.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Forest Kelly (cramps) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Kelly starts as expected after being brought off in mid week due to cramping. The fullback has started back-to-back matches after returning from a hamstring injury which kept him out the entire month of December.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Limps off Kelly limped off with an apparent injury during the second half of Thursday's clash with West Ham.

Impact Kelly needed some treatment on the pitch before the medical staff decided he couldn't carry on. The defender was replaced by Milos Kerkez, who would likely see more chances in the starting XI, especially if Kelly is injured. Kelly has a short turnaround before a Sunday clash with Nottingham Forest.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Available as substitute Kelly (hamstring) is on the bench for Bournemouth during Sunday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Kelly returns from a hamstring injury which has kept him out of Bournemouth's last six league matches. The defender starts from the bench but is available if called upon with Marcus Tavernier starting at left-back.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Small chance of playing Kelly (hamstring) has an outside chance at playing during Sunday's clash with Liverpool, according to manager Andoni Iraola."Lloyd Kelly is the only player who I would leave it ope...

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.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not likely to return before January Kelly (hamstring) is not expected to return to action before January, essentially ruling him out of the Sunday match at Tottenham, manager Andoni Iraola told Tom Crocker of Yahoo S...

Impact As things stand now, Bournemouth will have to improvise on the left side of the defense since both Kelly and Milos Kerkez foot) remain sidelined. Kelly, who has also been linked with a move away from Bournemouth during the January transfer market, has made eight starts (nine appearances) for the Cherries this season. Assuming he ends up being ruled out to face Tottenham on Sunday, his next chance to play will come against Liverpool on Jan. 21.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out multiple weeks Kelly (hamstring) is set to miss "some weeks", according to manager Andoni Iraolo.

Impact Kelly was always going to miss a significant period of time with a hamstring injury but it appears he could be back before the Winter break. With Kelly set for the sideline it will be Milos Kerkez who presumably takes over in the starting XI.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Injures hamstring Saturday Kelly was subbed off from Saturday's game against Sheffield United due to a hamstring injury. "His hamstring felt very tight. I cannot tell you if it is just precaution, or if it i...

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.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Kelly should be back on the pitch for Saturday's clash with Wolves, where he will be the top choice in the starting XI when fit. Marcos Senesi and Illia Sabarnyi have been getting the starts with Kelly out, and it would likely be Senesi to return to the bench when Kelly is back.

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.
