Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has admitted he is unsure if Luis Sinisterra will be fit for Saturday's clash with Liverpool.
Iraola's side will be relishing the chance to test themselves against the Premier League leaders after putting together an 11-game unbeaten run in the top flight.
The Cherries have produced dominant performances in their last two matches, sweeping past Newcastle United via a 4-1 scoreline, before cruising to a dominant 5-0 win in last Saturday's meeting with third-placed Nottingham Forest.
As a result of their remarkable form, Bournemouth will head into the weekend in seventh positon with just a point separating them from the top four.
Bournemouth's recent success is made more impressive by the fact they are having to contend with a lengthy injury list.

Bournemouth to make late decision on Sinisterra availability
Sinisterra is among those who have been in the Bournemouth treatment, having been out of action since October's win over Arsenal.
Iraola has revealed that the Colombia international is now back in training, although he is unsure whether he will be ready for Saturday's fixture.
"I think it's going to be basically the same team, not team, the same squad we had against Forest the other day," Iraola told reporters in Friday's pre-match press conference.
"The only player that has started doing things with us is Sini from the ones injured, Sinisterra. But I think we will assess him today but it's not sure that he will be involved tomorrow."

Who will definitely miss Bournemouth's clash with Liverpool
While a late decision will be made on Sinisterra's availability, Iraola will still have to contend with a significant absentee list for the visit of Arne Slot's side.
Defender Adam Smith and midfielder Alex Scott are yet to return to the squad, with the pair currently working individually in training.
The Cherries are also without the defensive trio of Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo and James Hill, while the forward pair of Enees Unal and Evanilson are sidelined for a significant period.
Although January addition Julio Soler is not injured, he is currently away with Argentina at the South American Under-20 Championship in Venezuela.
