David Brooks - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Missed match with injury Brooks missed Bournemouth's preseason match at Real Betis due to injury, with coach Marco Rose hoping to have him back soon, according to Jordan Clark.

Impact Brooks' work rate and creativity in the final third have made him a valuable attacking piece off the bench, contributing a goal and three assists across 31 appearances, including 13 starts, last season, and he's projected to serve in a similar backup role this season. No further details on the nature of the injury have been disclosed at this stage. Brooks is expected to be reassessed as Bournemouth's preseason continues.

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.

That said, he should likley be an option for next week's fixture against Aston Villa. Brooks has been a regular starter for the Cherries this season and with the recent departure of Antoine Semenyo, he is expected to play even more. Until he returns, Alex Jimenez and Ryan Christie are the likely options to get more playing time in the starting squad.

Still not available Brooks (ankle) is still not an option for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "Brooks is not ready for this one."

Not risked Monday Brooks (ankle) is out for Monday's match against Brighton.

Impact Brooks will be assessed after the final training session ahead of Monday's clash against the Seagulls since he ended the FA Cup loss against Newcastle United with a twisted ankle. Brooks has been a regular starter for the Cherries recently, starting four of his last six appearances across all competitions, which will force a change in the starting squad if he had to miss the game, with Alex Jimenez as an option to play on the right wing like he previously done during the campaign.

Assists late winner Wednesday Brooks assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
