Bournemouth confirm Ben Gannon-Doak out for ‘several months’ with hamstring injury
Head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Justin Kluivert and Ben Gannon-Doak will miss Saturday’s home match against West Ham after both returned from international duty with injuries.
Kluivert, who was away with the Netherlands, sustained an abductor injury, while Gannon-Doak was forced off while playing for Scotland due to a hamstring problem.
“I’m worried, of course. It was a difficult international break for us,” Iraola told reporters.
“We’ve had confirmation that Justin has suffered an abductor muscle injury, so he’s going to be out.
“Ben Gannon-Doak has a hamstring injury. Ben’s is a serious one, and he’ll be out for quite some time. Today we consulted with a surgeon to determine whether he’ll need an operation or if we can take a more conservative approach.
“Ben will be out for several months, which is really bad news.”
Bournemouth host West Ham on Saturday, November 22.
