Impact Cook has been sidelined for around two months with a hamstring issue and while his recovery is heading in the right direction, the Fulham fixture comes too soon for him to feature. Manager Iraola will assess where he is in his recovery after the weekend before making any decision on his involvement against Man City next week, with the midfielder hoping to contribute something meaningful in the final fixtures of the season after a solid run of starts before the injury struck.

Impact Cook has been partially trained but has yet to make the jump to training with his teammates, leaving him out for another match. However, the midfielder is expected to return to training next week, potentially leaving him as an option for their match against Fulham on May 9. After two months out, he hopes to return for the final three games of the season, seeing a decent run of starts before his injury.

Back in partial training Cook (hamstring) has returned to partial training, according to Alexander Smith of The Bournemouth Echo.

Impact Cook started partial training with the group, but he's at least a few weeks away from being an option for the coaching staff. The defensive midfielder hasn't played for the Cherries since Feb. 10, when he logged 10 minutes off the bench versus Everton. Expect Alex Scott and Ryan Christie to remain in central midfield as long as Cook remains on the sidelines.

Tyler Adams Returns: USA Midfielder 'Ready To Go' for Bournemouth vs. Arsenal

Out for extended period Cook (hamstring) suffered a setback during the international break and is now sidelined for an extended period, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per Nerve Sport.

Impact Cook had been nearing a return after missing five consecutive matches with a hamstring injury, making this latest development a significant blow for Bournemouth. The midfielder had been a locked-in starter before going down, starting in six of the seven matches prior to his injury, and his prolonged absence will force Ryan Christie, Tyler Adams and Alex Scott to continue shouldering the midfield load for the Cherries heading into the final stretch of the season.

Impact Cook has yet to recover from his hamstring injury, which has kept him out of the last four matches, but he could return after the international break. The midfielder is nearing a comeback and should be available for the final stretch of the Premier League season, having started six of the last seven matches prior to his injury. Ryan Christie is expected to start in midfield in his absence, although his minutes could decrease once Cook returns.

Impact Cook hasn't played since logging 10 minutes off the bench against Everton on Feb. 10, and the defensive specialist won't be ready to return until after the international break. Cook, who can play both as a right-back and defensive midfielder, has one assist across 16 league appearances (eight starts) this season.

Impact Cook picked up a hamstring injury in training last week and an MRI confirmed he is set for a multi-week spell on the sidelines. The midfielder is not expected back before early April, dealing a real blow to the Cherries given his status as a locked-in starter in the engine room. His absence now clears the runway for Tyler Adams to regain the starting role he held before his own injury setback.

Impact Cook tweaked his hamstring in the final training session ahead of Saturday's clash against West Ham United and will undergo an MRI to determine the full extent of the damage. It's a tough break for the Cherries, as he's been a steady, locked-in presence in the middle of the park, and his absence now forces a reshuffle in the starting XI. With Cook sidelined, Tyler Adams is in line to step into a bigger role once again now that he's back to full fitness.

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.

Impact Cook looks good to go as he will start on the bench after missing a match with a neck injury. This season has not been so kind to the midfielder, missing nine PL matches already through injuries, resulting in just three starts in nine games played.

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).

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

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 was a game-time call for this clash, but the veteran midfielder won't be an option and will be sidelined. Ryan Christie will start alongside Tyler Adams in midfield with Cook sidelined.

True game-time decision Cook (shoulder) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Leeds United, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "...we have the situation with Lewis Cook. He is still in some pain in the shoul...

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.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

On bench Saturday Cook (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Brighton.

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.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to train during break Cook (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Tottenham but is expected to begin training during the international break, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Lewis is doing well...

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.
