Alex Scott - Returns to bench after injury Scott (thigh) has been named on Bournemouth's bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Ipswich Town after recovering from a thigh injury.

Impact Scott returns to the matchday squad after missing Bournemouth's last seven matches across all competitions due to a thigh injury sustained while representing England. The midfielder recently resumed team training and has recovered sufficiently to be available for selection, although he could be eased back into action following his extended absence. He recorded one goal, 11 chances created and nine tackles across five Premier League appearances before his injury. Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook and Tyler Adams have provided midfield cover during his absence, but Scott could reclaim his starting role once he returns to full fitness.

Veljko Milosavljevic - No longer injured Milosavljevic (knee) has recovered from his injury and has been called up to Serbia's U21 squad for November friendlies against North Macedonia and Poland, according to Telegraf.

Impact Milosavljevic has completed his recovery from the knee injury sustained during preseason, which has prevented him from making a senior appearance for Bournemouth this campaign. The Serbian center-back has recently featured in two Premier League 2 matches with the club's U21 side, providing an assist in last week's 4-3 defeat against Brentford U21. His return to international duty represents another positive development after several months on the sidelines, with Serbia scheduled to face North Macedonia on Nov. 12 before taking on Poland in Spain. These fixtures should provide Milosavljevic with further opportunities to regain competitive rhythm and build his match fitness. However, his recovery does not necessarily guarantee an immediate return to Bournemouth's first-team plans, particularly after such an extended absence. Coach Marco Rose has previously emphasized the importance of gradually rebuilding his fitness through youth appearances, and it remains to be seen whether Milosavljevic will rejoin the senior squad later in the season.

Alex Scott - Late call for Ipswich clash Scott (thigh) has resumed team training but remains doubtful for Sunday's Premier League clash against Ipswich Town, with a late fitness assessment set to determine his availabilit...

Impact Scott is edging closer to returning after missing Bournemouth's last seven matches across all competitions due to a thigh injury sustained while representing England. The midfielder has made sufficient progress to rejoin collective training, marking a significant step forward after several weeks of rehabilitation. However, he still needs to complete additional physical tests before being cleared for competitive action, leaving his involvement against Ipswich uncertain. Coach Rose has previously suggested that delaying his return until after the November international break could be a sensible option, particularly given the risk of rushing him back. Scott registered one goal, 11 chances created and nine tackles across five Premier League appearances before his injury. Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook and Tyler Adams have performed well in his absence, providing Bournemouth with enough midfield depth to avoid taking unnecessary risks.

Julian Araujo - Enters final stage of recovery Araujo (thigh) has entered his final stages of recovery following surgery in August, according to his doctor, per Julio Rodriguez of Aguilas Monumental. "He is making progress in...

Impact Araujo is receiving another update just ahead of the November international break, as the defender continues his recovery after surgery on his thigh in August. It appears the Mexican has now entered the final stages of his recovery, now likely just trying to work back into match fitness. The hope now is that we will see him soon after the international break, potentially to end November or in early December.

James Hill - Busy once more Hill had two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Thursday's 3-1 win against Sparta Prague.

Impact Hill got the start in the Europa League and added two interceptions and two clearances on the way to a comfortable win. The center-back has established himself as an everyday starter this season. In fact, he's started all but one match across all competitions this season.

Alvaro Rodriguez - Starts in Europa League Alvaro Rodriguez generated five shots (two on goal) in Thursday's 3-1 win versus Sparta Prague.

Impact Rodriguez has struggled for any sort of minutes in the first team this season, but he finally got a full 90 Thursday. This is his second start of the campaign, both have come in the Europa League. Barring injuries he's not likely to start outside of obvious spots for rotation, even with a busy schedule.

Ryan Christie - Assists in Europa League Christie assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-1 victory against Sparta Prague. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 2...

Impact Christie finally has his first goal contribution of the season, coming from the Europa League. The midfielder has become more and more defensive as he's transitioned away from the attack, and that has shown in his goal contributions. Last season he had just two, and it took him until November to get his first one this season. Christie has played a significant role, but he offers little upside going forward.

Tyler Adams - Nets rare goal Adams scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-1 win versus Sparta Prague.

Impact Adams has been crucial in the squad in all competitions, and while he didn't start Thursday, he changed the game at halftime. He came on and scored a rare goal, his first of the campaign, as well as creating two chances. Adams has been perhaps the single-most important part of the team this season and continues to run the match from the base of the midfield.

Rayan - Scores off bench Rayan scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 3-1 victory versus Sparta Prague.

Impact Rayan came off the bench in mid-week action and found the back of the net on his only shot. The winger is up to four goals this season across all competitions, and is picking up right where he left off last season. He hasn't taken a leap into superstardom yet, but Rayan continues to be productive off the wing as Bournemouth compete in multiple competitions.

Michele Di Gregorio - Good in Europa League Di Gregorio had two saves and allowed one goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over Sparta Prague.

Impact Di Gregorio made a second start in a row in the Europa League and put together another nice showing. Across two performances in the second tier of European competition, he has conceded one goal and made a pair of saves. It's been two very strong performances, though it would take an injury for Di Gregorio to get any larger workload.

Juanlu - Suffers ankle injury Juanlu is under assessment and expected to miss some time following an ankle injury suffered in a U-21 match, according to manager Marco Rose. "Juanlu twisted his ankle in the unde...

Impact Juanlu is set for a period on the sidelines following an injury this week, as the defender went down with a ligament injury in his ankle during a U-21 game. He is still under the club's watch as they assess the problem, with no clear timetable for a return given yet. This will be a minor loss for the club in the grand scheme of things, as he is only a deep depth option, appearing once all season.

Alex Toth - Undergoes hamstring surgery Toth underwent successful surgery on a hamstring injury Tuesday and will be out for the time being.

Impact Toth sustained a hamstring injury after coming off the bench during Thursday's Europa League victory over AC Milan on Oct. 22, and this procedure will rule him out for the time being. Toth's absence shouldn't matter much from a fantasy perspective, as he's mostly been a depth option in a rotational role in midfield.

Alex Scott - Could return against Ipswich Scott (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sparta Prague but could return for Sunday's Premier League encounter against Ipswich Town, according to...

Impact Scott is progressing well in his recovery from the thigh injury he sustained while on international duty with England, which has kept him sidelined for Bournemouth's last seven matches across all competitions. The midfielder has resumed individual work on the pitch without experiencing further discomfort, raising hopes that he could return to the matchday squad before the November international break. However, manager Rose remains cautious about rushing him back, suggesting that allowing Scott another two weeks to recover during the break could be a more sensible approach. The 23-year-old has recorded one goal, 11 chances created and nine tackles across five Premier League appearances this season, establishing himself as an important option in central midfield. Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook have shared responsibilities in his absence, and both could continue featuring prominently if Bournemouth decides to delay Scott's return until after the international break.

Bafode Diakite - Suspended for Sparta Prague clash Diakite is suspended for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sparta Prague after accumulating three yellow cards across his first three appearances in the competition.

Impact Diakite will serve a one-match suspension after reaching the Europa League's disciplinary threshold, ruling him out of Thursday's encounter against Sparta Prague. The defender has struggled to establish himself as a regular option this season, having yet to start one game in the Premier League while primarily receiving opportunities in domestic cup and European competitions. His suspension further limits his chances of gaining competitive minutes, although he remains available for domestic fixtures. James Hill and Antonio Silva are expected to form the starting center-back partnership against Sparta Prague in his absence, with Hill already ahead of Diakite in the defensive pecking order. The latter will be eligible to return for the Nov. 25 Europa League clash against Celta Vigo, when he will look to regain a place in the rotation and compete for additional playing time.

Eli Junior Kroupi - Assists off the bench Junior Kroupi assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win against Leeds United.

Impact Kroupi's assist helped Bournemouth secure a win with an insurance goal, and the forward could have a larger role against Sparta Prague in midweek UEL action. Sparta Prague have only yielded three goals in three UEL matches so far, and they only conceded 13 times in 12 matches ahead of their Sunday domestic league game.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Kluivert - Delivers an assist Kluivert assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win against Leeds United.

Impact Kluivert was able to log an assist for his effort on Bournemouth's opening goal, and the attacker should be a focal point of the team's strategy against Sparta Prague in UEL play. It's an interesting matchup as Sparta Prague have only conceded three times in UEL play through three matches.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Evanilson - Scores in win Evanilson scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Leeds United.

Impact Evanilson took advantage early in the contest to allow Bournemouth to sit back more but the forward only had one shot. He'll need more volume to help Bournemouth take points from Sparta Prague, a side that has only allowed three goals in three UEL matches, in midweek action.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Amine Adli - Adds late insurance goal Adli scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Leeds United.

Impact Adli's goal game in stoppage time to put away the match for Bournemouth, and the attacker might see more action in midweek UEL play if the team needs a spark against Sparta Prague. Sparta Prague have been solid in defense this season, giving up just three goals in three UEL games and 13 goals in 12 domestic matches ahead of their Sunday game.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Djordje Petrovic - Keeps a clean sheet Petrovic made one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win over Leeds United.

Impact Petrovic only had to make one save in what was a quiet outing for the goalkeeper. That should continue in Europa League action against Sparta Prague, though the team has scored 25 times in its domestic league through 12 matches ahead of its Sunday match.

Pressure piles on Carrick as 10-man Man United beaten at Chelsea and Man City lose again

Michael Carrick’s position as Manchester United manager is in further jeopardy after a 2-0 loss at Chelsea in the Premier League

OCTOBER 31 • Associated Press

Veljko Milosavljevic - Ruled out again Milosavljevic (fitness) is not in the squad for Saturday's Premier League match against Leeds United.

Impact Milosavljevic is not ready for senior action as he continues rebuilding his fitness following a preseason knee injury. The center-back recently played for Bournemouth's U21s and is expected to make another appearance at that level before returning to first-team contention. His omission is consistent with the club's cautious approach following his lengthy absence. He remains without a senior appearance this season as he works toward a full competitive workload.
