Bournemouth vs Leeds team news

Junior Kroupi returned from his foot injury as a late substitute in Bournemouth’s 3-0 win at Manchester United. Rose said on Thursday that he is “really happy” to have the forward back, but that Kroupi still needs to build up his game time before he is ready to start. Our Junior Kroupi injury update has the background to his return.

Alex Scott will not be in the squad against Leeds. Rose said a return for the next league game at Ipswich could be an option, with Bournemouth still deciding whether to bring him back before the international break or use the extra fortnight to build his fitness. Alex Tóth is facing months out after what Rose called a huge muscle injury, and Julián Araujo is still sidelined by a thigh problem. Our Bournemouth vs Leeds injury news has the full picture.

Bournemouth hosted Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, so Rose’s selection on Saturday may also depend on how that game went.

Bournemouth are 13th in the Premier League with nine points from eight matches. Leeds are seventh on 11 points, two ahead of Bournemouth having played the same number of games.
