Bournemouth are set to be without at least five players for their final Premier League fixture of the 2024-24 season against Leicester City at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Enes Unal (knee), Ryan Christie (groin), Dango Ouattara (adductor) and Luis Sinisterra (thigh) are all sidelined with injuries, while Lewis Cook is suspended after being sent off in Tuesday’s 3-1 defeat at Manchester City.
Andoni Iraola has revealed that Alex Scott and James Hill could be available to face the Foxes; Scott missed the midweek loss to Man City after sustaining a fractured jaw in the previous match with Aston Villa, while Hill has missed the last six games with a knock.
Dean Huijsen will make his final appearance for Bournemouth before joining Real Madrid and is set to line up in the back four with in-demand Milos Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi and either Julian Araujo or Adam Smith.
If Scott is fit to start then he would presumably take the place of Cook and play alongside Tyler Adams in centre-midfield. If not, Iraola could hand 20-year-old Ben Winterburn his first Premier League start.
Marcus Tavernier is another who could be tasked with operating centrally, but he is more likely to battle with David Brooks for a start on the right flank as Antoine Semenyo continues on the left and Justin Kluivert plays in the number 10 role behind central striker Evanlison.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Smith, Huijsen, Zabarnyi, Kerkez; Scott, Adams; Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson
