According to injury expert Ben Dinnery, Bournemouth will be without three first-team players for their Premier League match against Leeds United on Sunday [30 April].
January enrollment Hamed Traore is now out with an ankle injury and is not anticipated to return until the end of the season, according to Dinnery (Premier injuries).
Full-back Ryan Fredericks is also out for an extended period of time due to a calf injury, and he is virtually surely out of Sunday’s game.
Junior Stanislas is also out for Gary O’Neil’s men, with no return date set, but the Cherries should have Jack Stephens back in action after being ruled ineligible to play against his parent club Southampton in their crucial 1-0 win over the Saints on Thursday evening [27 April].
Must-win
After a 1-0 win over South Coast rivals Southampton on Thursday, O’Neill and his team all but confirmed their Premier League status for next season.
The Cherries have enjoyed an amazing run of success in recent weeks, which has contributed to their current position in the Premier League table, seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Leeds United face a difficult battle on Sunday, facing off against a rejuvenated side full of confidence. The Vitality Stadium has proven to be a difficult place to visit in recent weeks, so Javi Gracia and his men will need to pull off a huge miracle if they are to taste their first win in five games.
It is now the last chance saloon for Leeds United, as another defeat could see them drop into the relegation zone if other results go their way, and given their current form and performance levels, the Leeds United fans could be in for a difficult trip to the South Coast.
What kind of performance can we expect from Leeds United on Sunday?
