Bournemouth travel to Stamford Bridge as they face Chelsea in their next Premier League encounter on Saturday, as Marco Rose’s men look to bounce back from their narrow defeats before the international break.
Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth manager Marco Rose faces a significant selection dilemma following a series of severe injury setbacks suffered during the recent international break.
The Cherries will be heavily depleted in midfield as Alex Scott has been sidelined for approximately two months after sustaining a painful tendon injury during his full senior debut for England.
Adding to Rose’s tactical headaches, key attacking outlets Justin Kluivert, David Brooks, and Eli Junior Kroupi have all failed late fitness tests and are officially ruled out for the demanding trip to Stamford Bridge.
Goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović is fully fit and heavily expected to start between the posts, while Evanilson will lead the attack up front.
Bournemouth predicted lineup
Possible Bournemouth starting XI: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Adams, Cook; Rayan, Christie, Tavernier; Evanilson
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 3pm BST on Saturday, 10th October.
