Evanilson - Logs goal, assist versus Sunderland Evanilson scored and assisted once from six shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Sunderland.

Impact Evanilson took advantage of a game that saw the opponents reduced to 10 men early to get heavily involved in offensive duties, setting up Marcus Tavernier from inside the box and scoring via left-footed finish in the fifth and 48th minutes, respectively. The striker has gained momentum with two goals and one assist over his last two Premier League starts, and he also found the net in the recent Europa League win over Sturm. He'll look to remain the squad's primary attacking threat as they face a busy stretch of the schedule.

Veljko Milosavljevic - Remains sidelined against Sunderland Milosavljevic (knee) remains unavailable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland despite making progress in his recovery from a preseason injury.

Impact Milosavljevic will have to wait longer for his season debut after failing to recover in time for Sunday's meeting with Sunderland. The center-back has recently resumed running and individual ball work, with coach Marco Rose previously identifying him as one of Bournemouth's injured players closest to returning. However, he has yet to regain sufficient fitness to rejoin the matchday squad, having also missed Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz. His return to competitive action remains uncertain, and he could initially be eased back into the rotation once fully cleared.

Veljko Milosavljevic - Could return against Sunderland Milosavljevic (knee) is closing in on a return to competitive action and could be included in Bournemouth's squad for Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland, according to...

Impact Milosavljevic has yet to make his season debut after suffering a knee injury during preseason, but his recovery has progressed well enough to put him in contention for Sunday's matchup against Sunderland. The center-back recently resumed running and individual ball work, with coach Marco Rose previously identifying him as one of the closest players to returning from injury. Although Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz came too soon for the defender, Bournemouth are hopeful he will be ready to rejoin the matchday squad this weekend. Given his lengthy absence from competitive action, Milosavljevic would likely be limited to a substitute role if cleared to feature, with his playing time expected to increase gradually as he rebuilds his match fitness.

Alex Scott - Could return to grass next week Scott (thigh) could be back working on the grass as early as next week after a positive MRI scan, according to manager Marco Rose, per BBC Radio Solent. "Maybe next week, he [Scott...

Impact Scott is making good progress from the thigh injury that forced him out of the England squad, and a positive MRI has opened the door for him to start working on the grass as soon as next week. That would mark an important step for a player who has been central to Bournemouth's midfield this season. His body's reaction to those first sessions will decide the next stage, and he could be back in contention for selection a few weeks after that if all goes well.

Alex Scott - Expected back sooner than feared Scott (quadriceps) had positive MRI results and could return sooner than initially expected after coach Marco Rose said he is hopeful the midfielder will be back before the initial...

Impact Scott was given a four-to-five-week timeline in early October, but this update suggests he could have a chance to return before that period. He remains out for the time being though, having already missed two matches across EPL and UEL competitions. Prior to the issue, he served as a regular starter in the holding midfield line while also racking up shots and a few set pieces per contest. Until Scott is ready to return, all of Tyler Adams, Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie will see increased minutes on the pitch.

Veljko Milosavljevic - Not ready to play yet Milosavljevic (knee) isn't in the squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Sturm Graz.

Impact Milosavljevic is reportedly close to making his season debut, but this European match will come too soon for the defender. His next chance to play will come Sunday in the EPL against Sunderland.

Eli Junior Kroupi - Back on grass but remains sidelined Kroupi (foot) has resumed training on the pitch but remains unavailable for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz, according to coach Marco Rose, per Bournemouth Echo....

Impact Kroupi continues to make progress in his recovery from a foot injury, having recently increased his workload and resumed individual training on the grass. The forward has yet to make his first appearance of the 2026/27 season, and manager Marco Rose's latest comments suggest he could remain sidelined for several more weeks. Kroupi scored 13 goals in 21 starts last season and could gradually work his way back into Bournemouth's attacking rotation once fully fit.

Amine Adli - Available for limited minutes Adli (calf) is available for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz but will be limited to a brief appearance, according to coach Marco Rose, per Alexander Smith. "To ha...

Impact Adli is set to return to the matchday squad after recovering from a calf injury sustained during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis. The attacker has yet to make an appearance this season, and manager Marco Rose confirmed he is not ready to play a full half but could contribute limited minutes off the bench. Adli recorded three goals and one assist across 31 Premier League appearances last season, including 10 starts, and will likely be eased back into competitive action following his lengthy absence.

Justin Kluivert - Cleared for limited return Kluivert (strain) is fit and available for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz but will be restricted to limited playing time, according to coach Marco Rose, per Alex...

Impact Kluivert has recovered sufficiently from the injury he sustained against Real Sociedad to return to the squad after several weeks on the sidelines. Manager Marco Rose confirmed the attacker is ready to contribute but is not yet fit enough to play 45 minutes, making a substitute appearance his most likely route back into action. Kluivert had started every Premier League match before his injury, scoring once, and his return will provide additional attacking options as he gradually rebuilds his match fitness.

Julian Araujo - Return pushed toward late November Araujo (thigh) remains sidelined following surgery and is not expected to return to competitive action until late November, according to the Sunderland Echo.

Impact Araujo has been out since suffering a left thigh muscle injury during Bournemouth's preseason tour in Austria, which required surgery and has kept him unavailable throughout the opening months of the campaign. Coach Marco Rose previously indicated that the defender could return at some point in November, but the latest update suggests his recovery will extend toward the end of the month. Araujo is expected to be among the last of Bournemouth's long-term absentees to return, and he will likely need additional time to regain match fitness before competing for minutes. His eventual return should primarily provide additional depth and competition at right-back.

Impact Milosavljevic has been sidelined since preseason due to a knee injury, preventing him from making an appearance for Bournemouth this campaign. The center-back recently resumed running and individual ball work, with coach Marco Rose previously identifying him as the closest to returning among the club's longer-term absentees. His recovery has progressed sufficiently for him to be considered a potential option in the next two fixtures, although he will undergo further assessments before being cleared for selection. Given his extended absence, Milosavljevic could initially be limited to a reserve role as he works toward regaining match fitness.

Amine Adli - Could return in next two fixtures Adli (calf) could return to action in either Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz or Sunday's Premier League matchup against Sunderland as he approaches full fitness,...

Impact Adli has yet to feature this season after suffering a calf injury during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis. The attacker has been making steady progress in his recovery, with coach Marco Rose previously suggesting he could return soon. Adli will be assessed ahead of the upcoming fixtures, with Thursday's Europa League contest potentially offering his first opportunity to return before Sunday's league matchup. The versatile attacker recorded three goals and one assist across 31 Premier League appearances last season, including 10 starts, and could initially be eased back into action off the bench after his extended absence.

Adam Smith - Struggles during heavy road defeat Smith had one interception in Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Chelsea.

Impact Smith recorded one interception without attempting a tackle or registering a clearance across 72 minutes of Saturday's 5-1 loss to Chelsea. He was part of a Bournemouth back line that conceded twice inside the opening three minutes and another goal within 30 seconds of the second-half restart, leaving the Cherries chasing the match almost throughout. Smith was replaced by Juanlu with Chelsea already holding a four-goal advantage.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Soler - Wins tackle in brief cameo Soler had one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Chelsea.

Impact Soler played the final six minutes of regulation Saturday after replacing Adrien Truffert with Bournemouth trailing 5-1. He won his only attempted tackle but recorded no clearances or interceptions as Chelsea saw out the closing stages without much attacking urgency. With Truffert continuing to handle the starting role at left-back, Soler's limited playing time leaves little room for meaningful fantasy production.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Juanlu - Plays first minutes in EPL Juanlu recorded one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 5-1 loss versus Chelsea.

Impact Juanlu played the final 18 minutes of Saturday's loss after replacing Adam Smith at right-back with Bournemouth trailing 5-1. He attempted one tackle without winning it and finished without a clearance or interception during a quiet closing stretch in which Chelsea largely managed their four-goal advantage. The cameo offered little statistical value but was his first minutes in the Premier League, with Juanlu entering only after the competitive portion of the match had effectively ended.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

James Hill - Busy in defeat Hill registered four tackles (two won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Chelsea.

Impact Hill recorded five clearances, one interception and four tackles, winning two, across the full 90 minutes of Saturday's 5-1 defeat at Chelsea. His nine combined defensive actions reflected a busy afternoon in the center of Bournemouth's back line, though those numbers did little to offset a game in which the Cherries conceded twice inside three minutes and five times overall. Hill's clearance volume provided some fantasy production in defeat, but Bournemouth were unable to generate any clean-sheet value against Chelsea's efficient attack.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

David Brooks - Quiet before halftime withdrawal Brooks registered two crosses (one accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 5-1 defeat versus Chelsea.

Impact Brooks delivered two crosses, one accurate, but failed to record a shot during 45 minutes in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Chelsea. He struggled to become involved as Bournemouth fell two goals behind inside the opening three minutes and generated most of their first-half danger through Rayan and Ryan Christie instead. Brooks was replaced by Ben Gannon Doak at halftime, with the substitution giving the latter the entire second period on the right side.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Active during late cameo Cook had three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 5-1 loss against Chelsea.

Impact Cook recorded three crosses, two corners and two interceptions during 17 minutes off the bench against Chelsea. He replaced Ryan Christie in the 73rd minute immediately after Chelsea had stretched the score to 5-1, leaving the midfielder to play out a match that was already effectively decided. His set-piece involvement helped him accumulate some late peripheral production, though none of his three deliveries were accurate and he failed to record a shot.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Gannon-Doak - Delivers six crosses off bench Gannon Doak generated six crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Gannon Doak produced six crosses, one accurate, without recording a shot during 45 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 5-1 defeat. He replaced David Brooks at halftime with Bournemouth trailing 2-0 and was involved during the Cherries' improved spell after the restart, when Evanilson briefly cut the deficit to two goals. The six-cross total was encouraging from a peripheral-stat perspective, though the lack of shots limited his overall attacking production.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Adams - Limited impact in midfield Adams had one clearanceand two interceptions in Saturday's 5-1 defeat versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 62nd minute.

Impact Adams recorded two interceptions and one clearance while playing the full 90 minutes during Saturday's 5-1 loss to Chelsea. He failed to record or win a tackle and was booked in the 62nd minute as Bournemouth struggled to slow Chelsea whenever the hosts accelerated through midfield. Adams remained on the pitch for the entirety of the defeat, but the modest defensive production offered little fantasy value despite Bournemouth spending significant stretches trying to regain control after falling behind early.
