Lewis Cook - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Assists off the bench Cook assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Cook got in the lineup after missing time with an injury, and he could see more minutes Wednesday against Tottenham after assisting on Bournemouth's second goal on Saturday. However, he will need to be more efficient to assist there as all three of his crosses were considered inaccurate.

Makes bench Cook (neck) is on the bench for Saturday's match vs Arsenal.

Late call for Saturday Cook (neck) is questionable for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "With Lewis, we are still waiting. It's his neck and the pain that he feels. H...

Impact Cook is going into some testing for Saturday's match, leaving the midfielder as a late call after his neck injury. The club will monitor his status closely, potentially earning him back after only a game missed. He started in the two games before his injury and should return to a starting spot if fit, covering for the injured Tyler Adams (knee).

Suffers neck injury Cook is out for Tuesday's match against Chelsea due to a neck injury, according to Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Echo.

Impact Cook is not with the team for Tuesday's match after a knock left him injured, dealing with neck pain at the moment. The good news is he should be recovered by their weekend match against Arsenal on Saturday, a quick turnaround for the midfielder. However, due to his absence, Marcus Tavernier is forced into a starting role.

Suspension cleared Cook is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Cook has served his three-match ban due to the straight red card he received against Sunderland and is set to return in the next contest. The midfielder has been a bench option mainly for the Cherries this season, therefore his return will not impact the starting XI.

Bournemouth's Lewis Cook sent off in 96th minute against Sunderland | Premier League

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Sent off in extra time Cook was shown a red card in the 96th minute of Saturday's 3-2 loss to Sunderland.

Impact Cook will hit the sidelines heading into the club's next match after a red card was shown to the midfielder Saturday, being sent off for elbowing someone in the head. This will likely result in a multi-game suspension, missing out against Everton on Dec. 2 and Chelsea on Dec. 6. That said, a return would likely come when facing Manchester United on Dec. 15. He did start in this match, with Alex Jimenez or Adam Smith as possible replacements at right-back.

Makes first start of season Cook made his first start of the season in the 2-2 draw against West Ham United on Saturday, Nov. 22.

Impact Cook made his season debut on Sep. 13 but only featured in one of the Cherries' first seven matches of the season, and didn't play over 25 minutes until Nov. 2. It's clear he's ready to log a significant workload now that he's fully healthy. He's expected to see regular playing time in the defensive line. That said, his fantasy upside shouldn't be very high, with his upside being mostly limited to defensive contributions only.

Returns to bench Cook (shoulder) is on the bench for Friday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Cook is on the bench for Friday's clash after missing two matches with a shoulder injury. The start to the season has been absolutely riddled with injuries for Cook, limiting him to just a single appearance. When fit he's a crucial part of the starting XI, so getting him back up to match speed Friday, and during the international break, will be the focus.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available Friday Cook (shoulder) could be an option for Friday's game against Fulham, manager Andoni Iraola told Alexander Smith of The Bournemouth Daily Echo.

Impact Cook has been participating in training this week, and although a final decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's contest, Cook has a chance to return to the side. Ryan Christie and Tyler Adams started in central midfield against Leeds United the last time out, but Cook should return to the lineup right away if deemed available.

Not playing Saturday Cook (shoulder) is not in the squad for Saturday's game against Leeds United.

Impact Cook is in doubt Saturday as he struggles with a shoulder injury that pushed him to the sideline against Newcastle. It's been an incredibly frustrating start to the season for Cook, who just finished recovery from a long-term knee issue. Alex Scott has been the main beneficiary from Cook's injury woes, and could continue to start if Cook can't go Saturday.

Suffers shoulder injury Cook missed Sunday's 0-0 draw against Newcastle due to a shoulder injury, coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo.

Impact Cook returned from his long term knee injury during the victory against the Seagulls 11 days ago but has suffered a setback since then, as he was reportedly missing from Sunday's clash against the Magpies due to a shoulder injury. His timeline for return and extent of his new injury remain uncertain for the time being, but it is a big blow for the Cherries since Cook is a regular starter in the midfield when fit and available. A new spell on the sidelines will allow Alex Scott to keep regular playing time in the midfield while Cook is out.

Impact Cook is on the bench for Saturday's clash against the Seagulls as he continues working toward full fitness. The midfielder had resumed partial training with the squad but wasn't fully cleared to start. Alex Scott keeps his place in the starting XI for the Cherries' midfield.

Impact Cook has been training with the team a little bit but isn't yet at full fitness. The midfielder will likely be assessed after the final training session to know if he can be part of the squad for Saturday's clash against the Seagulls. That said, if he has to miss the game, Alex Scott is expected to continue seeing increased playing time in the midfield for the Cherries.

Impact Cook is once again not an option as he continues with his knee injury, missing a third straight contest. However, there is some good news, as the midfielder is expected to train after the match during the two-week international break. That will likely set him up with a return soon after, hopefully fit to play again when facing Brighton on Sept. 13.

Will miss start of season Cook is out for the start of the 2025/26 season due to a knee injury he suffered in a friendly, according to his club.

Impact Cook is going to be sidelined to start the next season after injuring his MCL, but luckily won't need surgery. That said, the club hasn't given a return date for the midfielder, leaving a return date up in the air. They will likely take the situation cautiously with an injury that can take a turn for the worse quickly, likely missing around a month to two due to the injury. He is expected to be a starter, so Tyler Adams or Alex Scott will probably start the season in his spot.

Impact Cook has cleared his ban from the straight red card he received against Manchester City and is set to return for the first gameday of the 2025-26 season. He broke almost all his career-high records this campaign by playing 2,978 minutes in the Premier League which is nearly 200 more than his previous best. He created 47 chances which is one more than last season and marks a new career high. He should remain a key starter in the midfield for the Cherries next season as he still has three years left on his contract and continues to be an undisputed starter.

Impact Cook was the Cherries key playmaker Saturday. He placed eight crosses (four accurately) and three long balls (one accurate). He also contributed a clearance, a block, an interception and a tackle. The regular starter is one of Bournemouth's choice corner takers and often initiates plays that result in goals, but he rarely creates assists himself or gets on the scoresheet.
