Team News - AFC Bournemouth (a)

“Alysson is coming back progressively and, of course, we have three players in the middle, Kamara, Youri and McGinn out.

“We have a key structure inside with the players we have.

“Now, with Amadou Onana, he was not 100 per cent last week, Lamare Bogarde is always doing his task and helping us a lot but needs to continue getting better.

“Ross Barkley is coming back, it’s very, very important because he know us and he has the skill we need to play as a No.8 or No.10.”
