Dean Court, Bournemouth, ENG
Sandro Tonali - Set for returnTonali is no longer suspended and is eligible for Sunday's match against Newcastle.
ImpactTonali has finally shed his long-term suspension due to breaching FA rules regarding gambling, with the midfielder having missed the last 10 months due to the ban. He has been training with the club over the pre-season and is likely in a decent spot to start receiving time immediately, which is great news for the club as he is projected to be a regular starter. However, his position for his return to play is still unknown, as he could see the start immediately while at least seeing a spot on the bench to begin. Once fully integrated, expect the Italian to start in almost every match, taking the spot of Sean Longstaff.

Dan Burn - Strong contribution in drawBurn had two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.
ImpactBurns was effective in his core defensive duties as well as leveraging his towering 6 foot 7 inch frame to attack corners and crosses. He executed two clearances, two blocks, two interceptions and two tackles as well as attempting two shots at goal, one being on target. The 32-year-old contributed to a clean sheet in Newcastle's last match and with his stature he is a natural target from set pieces meaning he will be a defender that creates assists and goals. He posted two assists and netted two goals last season.

Evanilson - Promising debut in drawEvanilson registered three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle United.
ImpactEvanilson made his premier league debut Sunday after being signed earlier this month from Porto. He is the natural replacement for Dominic Solanke following his recent move to Spurs. The Brazilian international did not get much service from his midfielders but when in range of goal he showed his potential by firing two impressive on target strikes. He also demonstrated that he is not afraid to help out at the back when needed making a clearance, a tackle and blocking a shot. He was subbed after 72 minutes. It is early days but he looks like a promising addition to the Cherries and will hopefully build on the 13 goal tally he chalked up with Porto last season.

Antoine Semenyo - Produces assist in drawSemenyo assisted once to go with seven shots (none on goal) and created three chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle United.
ImpactSemenyo was lively and dangerous Sunday. His pace, energy and instinct to shoot at every opportunity was a handful for the Magpies defense. He rattled the crossbar was an impressive attempt from outside the box and from seven shots in total, four others were blocked. His work was rewarded through producing the assist for the Cherries goal scored by Marcus Tavernier. The 24-year-old is one of the Cherries key attacking assets, he matured through last season and is set to be one of their top contributors in 2023-24. This assist adds to the goal he scored in Bournemouth's last match.

Marcus Tavernier - Goal in draw with MagpiesTavernier scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle United.
ImpactTavernier scored from his only on target attempt Sunday, he also had another effort blocked. He was subbed after 85 minutes. "Tav" is a dangerous player with pace, and it is clear he is a kernel part of manager Andoni Iraola's plans for 2023-24. He is one of the Cherries key playmakers executing corners, crosses and free kicks so we can expect more goals and assists from him as the season progresses.

Neto - Four big saves in drawNeto recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle United.
ImpactNeto was one of the Cherries standout players on Sunday. The made four saves, a number of which took impressive responsiveness and dexterity. The Brazilian has reestablished himself as starting goalkeeper, consistency has been his issue but he has a chance to post his first clean sheet of the season in their next against Everton. The Toffees are currently bottom of the table and have not scored in either of their two season openers.
