TEAM NEWS FOR BOURNEMOUTH
The Cherries, coming off an impressive 2024/25 season, showcased their skills during the second half against Everton, scoring three unanswered goals at the MetLife Stadium.
New goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, a significant acquisition from Chelsea, made a strong impression by keeping a clean sheet. The defense, temporarily without Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen, both of whom left during the off-season, successfully held off the Merseysiders.
The squad has been strengthened by the return of Tyler Adams, who was given extra time off following his Gold Cup duty with the USA.
Justin Kluivert and newcomer Eli Junior Kroupi were not involved in the match against the Toffees, while Lewis Cook unfortunately sustained a serious knee injury during the friendly with Bristol City.
