Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (ACL), James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo (all hamstring) and Adam Smith (muscle) all remain sidelined, but Julio Soler is now expected to be back at the Cherries this week 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 and the former could be in contention to start in midfield, although Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie are 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 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
