Active during late cameo Cook had three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 5-1 loss against Chelsea.

Impact Cook recorded three crosses, two corners and two interceptions during 17 minutes off the bench against Chelsea. He replaced Ryan Christie in the 73rd minute immediately after Chelsea had stretched the score to 5-1, leaving the midfielder to play out a match that was already effectively decided. His set-piece involvement helped him accumulate some late peripheral production, though none of his three deliveries were accurate and he failed to record a shot.

Losing starting role Cook has played off the bench in Bournemouth's last three league matches and hasn't started an EPL game since Aug. 29.

Impact Cook started in central midfield in the Cherries' first two games of the 2026/27 season, but he's lost his place now that Tyler Adams is back in the squad and healthy to play regularly. Cook wasn't much of a fantasy asset due to his defensive-minded role in midfield when he was playing regularly, but this move to the bench should limit his fantasy appeal even more.

One chance created in draw Cook recorded no stats in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.

Impact Cook logged 69 minutes in Bournemouth's double pivot before making way for Tyler Adams, finishing with zero tackles won, clearances or interceptions in a match where his limited defensive involvement stood in stark contrast to the more combative midfield work of Everton's Harrison Armstrong and James Garner. Manager Marco Rose turned to Adams with the lead still intact as he looked to tighten up Bournemouth's midfield structure and see out the result.

Impact Cook's return is a welcome boost for Bournemouth heading into the final fixture of the season, having been sidelined since February with hamstring and calf issues. Manager Andoni Iraola confirmed no other injury concerns ahead of the match, giving him a full squad to choose from for the visit of Manchester City. The midfielder had been a regular starter before the injury struck, and his availability gives the coaching staff an additional option in the engine room for Tuesday's clash.

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.

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.

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.

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.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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 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.
