Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi is set to be available for Saurday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal after picking up a knock over the international break.

Kroupi has enjoyed an impressive first season at Bournemouth, with his nine league goals earning him a call-up to France’s Under-21 squad.

However, the teenager was later forced to pull out of the camp before his side’s clash with Luxembourg due to ‘physical discomfort’.

But the Cherries boss Andoni Iraola confirmed that Kroupi as well as Alex Jimenez, who also picked up a knock on international duty, have recovered in time for Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

‘Junior Kroupi and Alex Jimenez came from their international teams with some niggles and it was more precautionary.’ Iraola said in Friday’s pre-match press conference.

‘They have had some rest, also with us, and fully recovered for tomorrow.’

Asked for other team news, Iraola confirmed that Bournemouth will be without Justin Kluivert and Lewis Cook, but said three players had returned to first-team training.

‘The only injured players we have right now are Justin Kluivert and Lewis Cook,’ he added.
