Bournemouth are set to be without at last five injured players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Vitality Stadium.
Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (ACL), Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo (both hamstring) and Adam Smith (muscle) all remain sidelined, but James Hill has returned to training this week after recovering from a hamstring problem and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old full-back Julio Soler has returned to the club and should be available after finishing second with Argentina at the South American Under-20 Championship.
Andoni Iraola is unlikely to make too many changes, if any, to the side that beat Southampton 3-1 last weekend, with a back four of Lewis Cook, Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez set to protect goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Bournemouth were boosted by the return of both Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra last weekend, but the Spaniard has suggested that the pair are not quite ready to start just yet. Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie are therefore expected to continue their partnership in the middle of the pitch.
After scoring as a substitute against Southampton, Marcus Tavernier will be pushing to replace David Brooks on the right flank, while Antoine Semenyo is set to continue on the left as Justin Kluivert - who scored a hat-trick of penalties in Bournemouth's 4-2 win at Wolves earlier this season - operates in the number 10 role.
Bournemouth's Dango Ouattara has been involved in nine goals in his last 11 Premier League games (six goals, three assists), as many as in his first 60 appearances in the division (three goals, six assists), and the Burkina Faso international is in line to continue up front for the Cherries.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Adams; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara
