Justin Kluivert - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Out for several weeks Kluivert will miss Sunday's match against Liverpool and is expected to remain sidelined for several weeks after suffering an injury against Real Sociedad, according to coach Marco...

Impact Kluivert is set for a multi-week absence after picking up the injury against Real Sociedad, ruling him out of Sunday's clash with Liverpool and likely additional matches. The attacker had started every Premier League match this season and scored once, making his absence a notable loss from Bournemouth's starting XI. Ryan Christie will replace him in the lineup Sunday and could continue to see increased playing time while Kluivert recovers.

Scores Saturday Kluivert scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Brentford.

Impact Kluivert added a goal for the Cherries on Saturday, putting three shots on target. It was his first appearance on the scoresheet this season, and he's started all four Premier League matches, contributing three key passes, six shots on target, and four successful dribbles, steady attacking output as he settles into his new starting role for the club.

Scores against Brentford Kluivert scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Kluivert has opened the season as the starter in the No. 10 for the Cherries, and while he's looked lively so far, this was his first goal of the campaign. The Dutchman has 10 shots (six on target), three chances created and four crosses in his first four EPL starts this season, so he'll need to score or assist more often to be relevant in fantasy.

Two shots against Newcastle Kluivert registered two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 66th minu...

Impact Kluivert delivered the low cross that set up Evanilson's blocked opportunity shortly after halftime and registered two shots without troubling Newcastle's goalkeeper across 76 minutes before being replaced by Ben Gannon Doak. He was active in Bournemouth's attacking midfield role throughout, combining with Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson to help the Cherries dominate the first half, though his final product was below his best on the day. Kluivert has now registered seven shots and three chances created across Bournemouth's opening three Premier League matches this season.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in tie Kluivert had four shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.

Impact Kluivert registered four shots, including two on target, created two chances and delivered one accurate cross from two attempts across 81 minutes before making way as Bournemouth pushed for a second goal to put the three points away. He was a constant threat operating in the number 10 role, linking up with Marcus Tavernier to drive much of Bournemouth's attacking play out wide in a match the Cherries controlled territorially. Kluivert has been directly involved in five shot attempts while creating three chances across Bournemouth's opening two Premier League matches and will look to turn that activity into his first goal contribution of the season in the coming fixtures.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.
