Impact Kelly was an important part of the team's lineup last season, making 23 starts in 23 appearances while recording two assists with 99 clearances and 33 tackles (18 won). If he suffers a setback and is ruled not fit to start the season, then Chris Mepham is likely to move to center back alongside Marcos Senesi, with Adam Smith and Ryan Fredericks options to get the start at the outside backs.

Still sidelined Saturday Kelly (calf) will not be back in the squad against Wolverhampton on Saturday after manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Same as we were really. Lloyd Kelly is not back yet."

Impact Kelly will be shelved for a third consecutive contest due to his lingering calf problem. It's the second extended absence for the defender, having previously been sidelined for nine matches between mid-September and mid-November. Even when fit, the central defender won't offer much more than defensive production considering he has zero shots on target this season.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses out with calf issue Kelly was not in the squad for Saturday's match against Brighton because of a calf issue, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Kelly suffered the injury in the Forest game a couple weeks ago, so he's apparently been out for two weeks. When healthy, he's a regular in the starting XI, but he can't seem to stay on the pitch for extended periods. He'll likely be a late test for the Feb. 11 match against Newcastle.

Performs five clearances in draw Kelly contributed five clearances, two interceptions and a tackle in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. He also picked up a yellow card.

Impact Kelly, the captain, was busy on Saturday trying to neutralize an aggressive Forest attack. He scored strong defensive fantasy points and also managed a shot which was blocked. The regular starter is still struggling to find the form he exhibited earlier in the season. He has contributed two assists and two clean sheets.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Performs six clearances in loss Kelly executed six clearances, two interceptions, a tackle and blocked a shot in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford.

Impact Kelly, the captain, put in a strong defensive performance on Saturday but failed to make any material impact scoring attack related fantasy points. He made no attempts on goal and only one cross which was not accurate. The regular starter has made two assists this season but it has now been five games since he contributed one.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong defensive contribution in loss Kelly performed four clearances, four tackles, a block and an interception in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat by Manchester United.

Impact Kelly (the captain) scored solid fantasy defensive points on Tuesday as he led the Bournemouth defense in trying to contain an in-form Manchester United attack. The match result did not reflect the brave performance that the Cherries put into the game, and Kelly did what he could to lead and marshal his teammates. From eight appearances (all starts) he has provided two assists and delivered two clean sheets.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Credible defensive performance in loss Kelly made three clearances, two interceptions and a block in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. He also picked up a yellow card.

Impact Kelly, the captain, controlled Bournemouth's defense well on Saturday in a game where Palace dominated possession and the attacking plays. This was just his second game back from a knee injury sustained in September. Early in the season he delivered two assists from his first five games, over the coming weeks it is likely he will regain his ability to deliver attacking fantasy points to complement his consistently solid defensive scoring.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes six clearances in defeat Kelly produced six clearances in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea.

Impact Kelly, the captain, played a crucial role on Tuesday to limit Chelsea's scoring. His six clearances were critical in defending dangerous set pieces and his broader defensive duties notched up a solid set of fantasy points. He is a good value fantasy choice as a defender that can also score attacking metrics. He has provided two assists in his last six games.

Starting against Chelsea Kelly (ankle) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Kelly returns to the XI Tuesday after recovering over the World Cup break. He last appeared in early September, but he's apparently fit and ready to go. He captains the side and is arguably the team's best center-back, which is a boost for the Cherries following the break, though that doesn't mean they'll start a run of clean sheets against Chelsea, as Chris Mepham moves to the bench.

Continues to train with squad Kelly (ankle) is training with the first team but remains in doubt against Chelsea on Tuesday. Manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Lloyd is back in training. Obviously, he's had a...

Impact Unfortunately for fantasy players, Kelly's availability appears to be on a match-to-match basis with no clear timeline available of when he might feature. With the central defender having not played since Sept. 3 versus Nottingham Forest, he may have to make an appearance or two off the bench before being thrust right into the starting XI.

DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in squad for cup Kelly (ankle) is not in the first team squad for Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle.

Impact Kelly was reportedly fully fit and available for Tuesday's match but hasn't been selected. Whether that's fitness related or not Kelly will now have until Dec. 27 to try and get fully fit for the resumption of the Premier League during a trip to Chelsea.

Impact Kelly has been out of action since Sept. 3 versus Nottingham Forest, a stretch of nine matches on the shelf. Given his extended layoff, Kelly probably shouldn't be expected to jump right back into the starting XI and may have to settle for a spot on the bench versus Newcastle.

Impact Kelly hasn't played since early-September but should be in good shape to return when the league resumes in late-December. He started five times in six matches to open the season, recording two assists. When he does play next, either Marcos Senesi or Jack Stephens will have to move out of the back line unless there's a change in formation.

Impact Kelly hasn't played since Sept. 3 and will miss his ninth total game of the season when he's absent against the Toffees. Until he's able to start again, Chris Mepham and Marcos Senesi are the top pairing at center-back.

Impact Kelly has been sidelined since Sept. 3 versus Nottingham Forest, a stretch of seven matches on the shelf, and is now likely to miss at least two more matches. Prior to his absence, the central defender had started all five of his appearances for the club and should be in the mix to reclaim his spot on the pitch once back to full match fitness.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still without timeline Kelly (undisclosed) was not mentioned by interim manager Gary O'Neil ahead of Saturday's match against Tottenham.

Impact The information on Kelly has been limited, as he's been out since Sept. 3 with this injury. At this point, he seems like a doubt to feature before the World Cup unless O'Neil isn't revealing some new information. The Cherries have been fine without Kelly, as Marcos Senesi has been acclimating to the league in the back next to Chris Mepham.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to remain out Kelly (undisclosed) will remain out for Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Kelly will miss his fourth-straight match Saturday and there's little reason to think he'll be ready the following Wednesday. Marcos Senesi has played well in Kelly's absence, as Bournemouth have allowed just two goals over the last three matches with a four-man back line.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Saturday Kelly (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact It's another absence for Kelly, who will be missing his third-straight match for Bournemouth. While he's a key piece on the back line, the Cherries have played well in his absence with Marcos Senesi taking up a starting role again, allowing just one goal in the last two matches against Brentford and Newcastle.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Brentford Kelly (undisclosed) will remain out for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Kelly couldn't recover over the two-week break, which isn't a great sign given that the details on his actual injury are slim. At this point, he should be considered a doubt for the next couple matches, as well. Marcos Senesi has struggled when in the starting XI this season and it's a wonder if someone like Jack Stacey or Jack Stephens comes into the XI next to Chris Mepham.
