Justin Kluivert - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ineffective in opener Kluivert had one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Impact Kluivert started and played up until the 75th minute for Bournemouth on Sunday, although it was far from his best match. He would earn a shot on goal to go along with a chance created and a cross, all of which amounted to very little. He broke out during the 2024/25 campaign, but after injuries slowed him down in the 2025/26 season with only 20 appearances (10 starts). That said, he will look to get back to his best levels this season, likely to be boosted if he sees an everyday starting role again.

Holds number 10 role Kluivert once again operated in the number 10 role during Saturday's 2-2 friendly draw with Real Betis, continuing a pattern seen throughout preseason, and could not add to the hat...

Impact Kluivert made 20 Premier League appearances last season, scoring two goals across 952 minutes, a limited output injuries had a hand in disrupting. His repeated deployment in a central attacking role throughout preseason is an encouraging sign heading into 2026/27 under new manager Marco Rose, suggesting the Cherries could look to keep using him more centrally rather than out wide, and that could open up a bigger goal scoring role if it carries into the regular season.

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.

Appears off bench against City Kluivert recorded three fouls and one block in 14 minutes as a substitute during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

Impact Kluivert saw his first minutes since recovering from a serious knee injury he picked up in January. The attacker replaced Junior Kroupi in the final moments of Tuesday's game, although he barely got involved. He was a regular starter last year and could regain offensive upside if he gets back into form, potentially contending for a spot in the Netherlands' World Cup roster.

On bench Saturday Kluivert (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Fulham.

Impact Kluivert returns to the matchday squad after being ruled out of last weekend's fixture against Crystal Palace, with coach Andoni Iraola confirming his inclusion after a smooth progression through training with no swelling or reaction in the knee. The forward has been sidelined for four to five months, and Iraola opted to ease him back carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup given the length of his absence. His return is well timed with the World Cup on the horizon, where featuring for the Netherlands will depend on getting enough minutes before the campaign concludes.

Should make squad Saturday Kluivert (knee) is expected to be in the squad for Saturday's clash against Fulham, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per Jack Hillman of Nerve Sport.

Impact Kluivert had been ruled out of last weekend's fixture against Crystal Palace after four to five months on the sidelines, but his progression through training has been smooth with no swelling or reaction in the knee, putting him right on track for a return this weekend. The forward is a key option for Bournemouth in the final stretch of the season and his return is well timed with the World Cup on the horizon, where he could feature for the Netherlands if he gets enough minutes to prove his fitness. Manager Iraola will ease him back carefully given the length of his absence, but the signs are encouraging that Kluivert can make a meaningful contribution before the campaign concludes.

Sunday too early, close to return Kluivert is out for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace but is eyeing a return for the final three games of the season, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "I think it's very pos...

Impact Kluivert has been out for months now, but is nearing a return to play for the end of the season, as he eyes a return following Sunday's contest. This is major news for the midfielder, especially with the World Cup on the horizon, likely to leave him an option for the Netherlands. He is coming off a career season in the 2024/25 campaign, so he will hope to end the season on a high note, likely to see quality minutes once fit.

Training, could play Sunday Kluivert (knee) has returned to training and could be involved against Palace on Sunday if he comes through training well, according to Mark McAdam of Soccer Saturday.

Impact Kluivert has been out for around five months but is nearing a return to play in the coming days or weeks, as he has returned to the training field. He is already working back to full fitness and could feature as soon as Sunday, although that is if he can have a clean bill of health by the end of the week. That said, the midfielder is being considered a late call, potentially getting the chance to see the field. He started in 10 of his 18 appearances before the injury while notching two goals on 16 shots.

Impact A better timeline for Kluivert will be decided after surgery, but there's a real chance he won't be back this season. While it's not ligament related, there's still a big question on when he can be back, which will be key with the World Cup in six months. The best-case scenario will possibly mean a return in March or April, while the worst-case is that he's done for the season. With Antoine Semenyo headed out, Bournemouth could move into the market for new options. If not, it could mean heavier time for Eli Kroupi, Amine Adli and even Enes Unal.

Set to undergo knee surgery Kluivert will undergo a knee surgery and is set to miss some time on the sidelines, the club announced.

Impact Kluivert suffered a knee injury following the clash against Arsenal on Saturday and is set to undergo a surgery in the coming days. This will leave him unavailable for some time which is a blow for the Cherries since he is an undisputed starter in the frontline when fit. Lewis Cook is expected to step in the midfield and Marcus Tavernier play in a more advanced role while he is out.

Strong service Kluivert had two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Even though Kluviert did not get an assist, he provided good service and was relatively accurate given Arsenal's stiff defense. He'll have a chance to be more clinical against a less formidable Tottenham defense which has conceded 23 times in 19 matches.

Chelsea player ratings vs Bournemouth: Electric Estevao deserves better! Wonderkid runs Cherries ragged but Alejandro Garnacho among Blues' flops in disappointing draw

Nets one Kluivert scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 2-2 draw against Chelsea.

Impact Kluivert added on a goal for Bournemouth Tuesday, completing a shot on target, two key passes and winning two tackles. In the last seven Premier League appearances, the midfielder had started five of those games, collecting a goal with 11 key passes, four tackles won and completing five successful dribbles in that span.

Pair of chances created Kluivert created a pair of chances and took four set-pieces during Sunday's four-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Kluivert was in the starting XI for the third match in a row since overcoming an injury and he had his best game yet. He had a role on set-pieces as well as creating a pair of chances. Now that he's back fully fit, Kluivert seems to have a set role in the starting XI, and if he can keep taking set-pieces he will have a somewhat safe floor.

Available off bench Kluivert (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.

Impact Kluivert was expected to return to the match squad in a few weeks but the Friday training session where he was expected to do something proved very positive for the medical staff since he is back available and an option off the bench for the Cherries. This is great news for Bournemouth since he was a regular starter prior to his setback, starting four of his last six appearances. He also contributed one goal in that span.

Expected to train Friday Kluivert (groin) is expected to do some sort of training on Friday, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to Alexander Smith from the Bournemouth Daily Echo.

Impact Kluivert is progressing well in his rehabilitation from an adductor injury and hopes to resume some form of team training on Friday for the first time since his setback, according to coach Andoni Iraola. This is encouraging news since he is a regular starter in the Cherries' frontline and a return to the match squad in the first half of December is now expected. Until then, Eli Kroupi is expected to take on a larger role in the attack.

Suffers groin injury Kluivert (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against West Ham United, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to Jordan Clark from BBC Radio Solent Sport.

Impact Kluivert suffered a groin injury while on international duty with Netherlands and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against West Ham United. The forward will likely be assessed at the beginning of next week to know if he can be back available for upcoming fixtures. David Brooks or Amine Adli will be the likely options to replace him in the frontline against the Hammers.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Bournemouth Kluivert suffered an injury with the Netherlands and has returned to Bournemouth for testing, according to his national team.

Impact Kluivert has suffered an injury over the international break and is unable to continue with his national team, instead returning to his club for testing and rehabilitation. This is something to watch for the club, as he has started in four of their past six matches after earning a bench spot to begin the season. With a quick turnaround leading up to Saturday's match against West Ham, he will hope the injury is minor, with David Brooks or Amine Adli as possible replacements if he misses further time.
