Bournemouth assess fitness as Brentford visit
Iraola admits Brentford match up well against Bournemouth and plans tweaks to end a long winless run, calling this one of their hardest games, with Schade, Igor Thiago and Ouattara threats.
Tyler Adams credits Andoni Iraola for simplifying his role, returns from MCL injury after eight weeks, targets consistency before the World Cup, with Liverpool and Man United monitoring the £40m-rated midfielder.
Alex Jimenez, 20, says Bournemouth’s ‘relaxed’ setup and backing ‘through thick and thin’ suit him. After impressing on loan, he signed permanently and has made 25 appearances in Iraola’s system.
Iraola hopes Evanilson, who ‘couldn't train’, can face Brentford, says Cherries are 10th and need balance after fewer goals, and calls for better protection for keepers at set-pieces.
Iraola says 19-year-old Rayan is still adapting to Premier League tempo and may be assessed before Brentford after heavy minutes and cramps in recent games.
