West Ham v Bournemouth team news with 4 doubts and 5 outs as Graham Potter teases boos. Graham Potter is hoping to have two first term stars available again to take on AFC Bournemouth on Saturday. West Ham and AFC Bournemouth are looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League this weekend with the two sides meeting at the London Stadium off the back of disappointing midweek results.
The Hammers fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of struggling Wolves while the Cherries were undone by relegation-threatened Ipswich Town. Graham Potter is looking for a much needed morale boost ahead of making the tricky trip to Liverpool next weekend. There is good news on the injury front for West Ham with one key attacking outlet and a member of the back four close to return.
West Ham were without centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo and winger Mohammed Kudus in the matchday squad for defeat to Wolves but Graham Potter is hoping to have both of those players back again for the meeting with AFC Bournemouth. The duo will need late fitness checks this week before their availability is given the green light.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Potter said: “J-C Todibo trained this morning and felt a lot better. We’ll see how he reacts today – we’ve got another training session on Friday so there’s a chance he’ll be involved, which would be good for us.
“Mo has done very light training today, so again we’ll see how he reacts to that, and whether he can go in on Friday. Again he’s got a chance for the weekend. For him it’s an overload in the hip area. It’s not really an injury, more of a fatigue thing. He felt some discomfort earlier on in the week, which ruled him out. We felt it was just too soon after his international break to be involved. But it’s calmed down a lot, and if he trains well on Friday. then we’ve got a chance.”
