Bournemouth

Bournemouth have four players unavailable, all confirmed out, with no doubtful cases on the list. Three of the absences are physical: J. Araujo and A. Scott are both out with thigh injuries, and A. Toth is sidelined with a muscle injury. The fourth, V. Milosavljevic, is listed as lacking match fitness, which points to a player still building toward readiness rather than one dealing with a new setback. The available information does not give return dates or details on the severity of any injury, so the length of these absences cannot be assessed.

The data also does not specify the players' positions, so it is not possible to say which area of the pitch is hit hardest. Two thigh injuries do make up half the list, and that is the only pattern in the data. For the same reason, this analysis cannot say how often each player has featured or how well their likely replacements would fit.

Four absences is a manageable number. With no doubtful players, the unavailable group is clearly defined, which should make selection decisions simpler. Whether the squad can absorb these losses without a drop in quality depends on the depth in the affected positions, and that is not covered by the data provided.
