Bournemouth v Wolves injury news as five ruled out and three doubts - gallery

Latest injury news ahead of the Premier League clash between AFC Bournemouth and Wolves at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, October 21.

Wolves are back in Premier League action after a near two-week break as they face AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The second international break of the season is over, and it's a nice tasty fixture for Gary O'Neil to prepare for next. He returns to the South Coast for the first time since he was let go in the summer by the Cherries, and could be going there with a point to prove.

O'Neil was let go from his contract and replaced by former Spain defender Andoni Iraola who is yet to win a league match. Bournemouth are in the bottom two and have picked up three points so far this season, and they came at the end of the first international break, and two of those draws came just after the action resumed against Brentford and Chelsea respectively.

Wolves on the other hand are five places above them, and there are five points separating the two sides ahead of kick-off. O'Neil's side drew with Midlands rivals Aston Villa before the international break, though lost Marino Lemina who was red-carded, and he is one player that is a confirmed absentee in Dorset.

Alex Scott was a name that kept popping up during the summer, more specifically when Julen Lopetegui was in charge. The England Under-20 international was said to be his number one target, but he ended up making a reported £25m move to Bournemouth. Will he appear against the club that seemed to have such an interest in him?

Flick through to see the latest injury and team news of both AFC Bournemouth and Wolves. It includes who’s out, who’s a doubt as well as some players who are returning late from international duty.
