For now, his next chance to play will come in the friendly against Augsburg on Thursday.

Eli Junior Kroupi - Out three to four months Kroupi is expected to be out for three to four months after undergoing foot surgery Wednesday, David Ornstein reports.

Impact Kroupi's foot surgery is a huge blow given the breakout season he had, one in which he established himself in the starting lineup and scored 13 goals in 21 starts, drawing links to several clubs along the way. The three-to-four-month timeline will keep him out for a significant chunk of the new season, and until he returns, Justin Kluivert is likely to continue in his place.

Sean Dyche claims Andoni Iraola 'plays lower league football' in honest assessment of new Liverpool manager

Rayan - Back in England for new season Rayan is back training with Bournemouth after the World Cup, according to the club.

Impact Rayan made an immediate impact after arriving from Brazil in January, scoring five goals with two assists in limited minutes as a teenage right winger, an eye catching return for a 19 year old in half a season. He also featured for Brazil at the World Cup, finishing with one assist in four appearances, including three starts, and led the team in chances created during the round of 16 loss to Norway. His return to Bournemouth training now shifts the focus to whether he can build on that small but promising sample and secure a regular starting role heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League season.

Both missed out Friday's game since they hadn't trained enough, according to Rose, but they're expected to be available for the friendly against Augsburg on July 30.

Julio Soler - Trains fully in preseason Soler (hamstring) is training fully with the squad in preseason, confirming he is back fit from his injury, the club posted.

Impact Soler's clean bill of health is an encouraging sign after a hamstring injury limited him to just three Premier League appearances totaling 34 minutes last season. A fully healthy start to preseason gives him a real chance to compete for minutes in the squad under new coach Marco Rose after a deeply frustrating previous campaign.

Alvaro Rodriguez - Signs long term with Bournemouth Rodriguez signed a long term deal with Bournemouth after departing Elche, the club announced.

Impact Rodriguez scored seven goals and added five assists across 34 appearances for Elche last season, including strikes against both Real Madrid and Barcelona. The forward came through Girona's academy before joining Real Madrid's La Fabrica in 2020, making his senior debut under coach Carlo Ancelotti in January 2023 and scoring a dramatic derby equalizer against Atletico Madrid off a Luka Modric corner. He also spent time on loan at Getafe before his move to Elche last summer. Head of football operations Tiago Pinto praised his pedigree and potential, and Rodriguez is expected to add depth to Bournemouth's attack as the club prepares for a European campaign.

Julian Araujo - Returns for preseason Araujo (quadriceps) has reported to Bournemouth for preseason ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, the club posted.

Impact Araujo is back with Bournemouth after completing his loan spell at Celtic and appears to have moved past the muscular injury that sidelined him late last season and ultimately cost him a place in Mexico's World Cup squad. The defender has joined Bournemouth's preseason preparations as he looks to impress ahead of the new campaign.

Tyler Adams - Makes two tackles in loss Adams had two tackles (one won) and three clearances in Monday's 4-1 loss against Belgium.

Impact Adams generated only a few defensive actions while completing 97 percent of his passes over 72 minutes of play against Belgium. With the USMNT eliminated from the competition, the Bournemouth midfielder will likely have a short period of rest before playing his next official match. He operated as the most defensive-minded midfielder in his national team's formation, and his final World Cup numbers were 210 accurate passes, two chances created, nine tackles, nine clearances and seven interceptions over four starts.

Alex Scott - With pre-tournament team Scott (undisclosed) was unused off the bench in England's pre-World Cup warm-up matches.

Impact Scott was a late scratch from the final match of the season for Bournemouth due to a slight knock, but it was nothing to worry about heading into the summer, as he would get a call-up to the pre-World Cup camp with England. That said, the midfielder is fit heading into the 2026/27 season, where he is met with numerous transfer offers from top clubs as a possible move away from the Cherries looms. At his young age, the midfielder has built himself a solid career thus far in the Premier League, recording three goals and one assist to go along with 60 tackles, 81 clearances and 88 crosses in 37 appearances (34 starts) last campaign.

Tyler Adams - Completes 41 passes Adams generated one tackle (zero won) and one interception in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Adams was back in the starting XI after sitting out for the group stage finale, back in his anchor role in the midfield. This would lead him to complete 41 passes while earning a tackle and an interception. He remains a major part of the team as they earn their second clean sheet of the tournament, not seeing too many chances near the net but always around the ball in the middle of the field.

Justin Kluivert - Misses in penalty shootout Kluivert recorded no stats in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss against Morocco.

Impact Kluivert appeared off the bench in extra time, entering for Cody Gakpo just ahead of the penalty shootout. However, it would be a night to forget for Kluivert, as he would miss the second penalty in the shootout for the Netherlands, opening a chance for Morocco before they eventually won. He leaves the World Cup after playing only 25 minutes, a rough way to go for the attacker.
