Eli Junior Kroupi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Called up by France Kroupi was called up by France for the November international break Tuesday.

Impact This was Kroupi's first senior call-up.

He enjoyed an excellent season in 2025/26, however, tallying 13 goals across 33 league appearances (21 starts) for the Cherries.

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.

Impact Kroupi recently returned from nearly three months on the sidelines following foot surgery, making a three-minute substitute appearance against Manchester United. The young forward is still lacking match sharpness and will continue building his fitness through training and substitute appearances before being considered for a starting role in the coming weeks. He scored 13 goals in 21 Premier League starts last season but faces competition from Evanilson at center-forward and Justin Kluivert in attacking midfield.

Impact Kroupi returned to competitive action after nearly three months on the sidelines following foot surgery, making a three-minute substitute appearance against Manchester United. The young forward will need additional training to regain full match fitness, suggesting his playing time could remain limited in the coming weeks. Kroupi scored 13 goals in 21 Premier League starts last season but faces strong competition for minutes, with Evanilson in good form as the central striker and Justin Kluivert also performing well in the attacking midfield role.

Impact Kroupi returns to contention after spending nearly three months on the sidelines with a foot injury sustained during preseason that required surgery. The 20-year-old forward has recovered ahead of schedule and could make his first appearance of the campaign against Manchester United, although his minutes are expected to be carefully managed. Kroupi finished last season as Bournemouth's leading scorer with 13 goals in 21 starts, and his return provides the club with an additional attacking option as he gradually works toward full match fitness.

Impact Kroupi is finally ready to return to competitive action after spending nearly three months on the sidelines with a foot injury sustained during Bournemouth's preseason training camp in Austria. The 20-year-old forward required surgery and was initially expected to remain unavailable until November, but his recovery has progressed ahead of schedule, allowing him to resume full team training. Although he missed Thursday's Europa League victory over AC Milan due to his omission from Bournemouth's UEFA squad list, coach Rose has now confirmed plans to include him in Sunday's traveling squad against Manchester United and give him some playing time. The coach also praised Kroupi's attitude and impact in training, highlighting the attacking quality he brings to the team. Having finished last season as Bournemouth's leading scorer with 13 goals in 21 starts, the Frenchman could provide a significant boost to the club's attack. However, his minutes will likely be carefully managed initially as he works toward regaining full match fitness.

Impact Kroupi is closing in on his first appearance of the season after recovering from a foot injury that required surgery during Bournemouth's preseason training camp in Austria. The French forward has returned to full team training ahead of schedule, having initially been expected to remain sidelined until November. Although he is ineligible to face AC Milan because he was omitted from Bournemouth's UEFA squad list, he could receive limited minutes against Manchester United on Sunday as he works his way back to full match fitness. Kroupi scored 13 goals in 21 starts last season and could provide Bournemouth with an important attacking boost once fully available.

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.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Could be back in late October Kroupi (foot) has increased his workload and trained on grass since Saturday, aiming to return in an Oct. 25 visit to Manchester United, per Hugo Delom of L'Equipe.

Impact Kroupi has progressed faster than expected in his recovery but remains out for a few more weeks, having yet to make his 2026/27 season debut. If he avoids any setback, the forward will likely be re-introduced carefully into the rotation with Evanilson and Ryan Christie at striker and attacking midfield roles, respectively.

Targeting early November return Kroupi (foot) is expected to return around the beginning of November as he continues his recovery from surgery, according to coach Marco Rose, per Sky Sports News. "We expect Junio...

Impact Kroupi underwent foot surgery during preseason and was initially handed a three-to-four-month recovery timeline, putting him on track to miss a significant portion of the opening months of the campaign. Manager Marco Rose's latest update provides a more concrete target, with the forward now expected back around the beginning of November. Kroupi is coming off a breakout campaign in which he scored 13 goals in 21 starts, and he should have an opportunity to reclaim a prominent attacking role once he has rebuilt his match fitness.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Misses friendly due to fatigue Kroupi didn't play in Friday's friendly against St. Pauli due to "fatigue," manager Marco Rose told Alexander Smith of The Bournemouth Echo.

Impact Rose revealed that both Kroupi and David Brooks haven't trained enough to be available for this match. However, the idea would be to have both players ready to go when the Cherries take on Augsburg on July 30 in their next friendly.
