Is Justin Kluivert playing for Bournemouth today? | OneFootball

The Cherries star has missed the last three games through injury

Bournemouth are confident Justin Kluivert will be able to make his return from injury today against Crystal Palace.

Kluivert has 12 goals and six assists to his name, across all competitions, this season and in his absence Evanilson and Antoine Semenyo have filled the goalscoring void.

But Kluivert is now back in contention, though it remains to be seen if he will start the game at Selhurst Park.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the weekend, Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola said of his forward: “I think Justin will be available if he trains normally.

There was less positive news about Luis Sinisterra, who continues to be troubled by a hamstring injury.

Iraola continued: “Sini is not going to be available. The others should be fine I hope, everyone is ready to go.”

Bournemouth matched their record points tally with victory over Fulham last time out. That means any points they take back with them to the south coast this weekend will be venturing into new territory.

Iraola said: “I was really happy [we matched the milestone]. We still need to get at least one more to celebrate it properly but it was one of the goals.

“I hope we can do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is the first chance we have to beat it, so let’s try to do it.”
