Recovery and Availability
Bournemouth have confirmed Eli Junior Kroupi has resumed team training following surgery for a foot injury in July. The forward has not appeared for the club since that procedure but could be available for minutes when the team hosts Manchester United on Sunday. He remains ineligible for the Europa League squad and will therefore miss the upcoming match against AC Milan.
Last Season's Impact
As Bournemouth's top scorer last season, Kroupi recorded 13 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions. He also set the mark for the most goals by a teenager in a first Premier League campaign and has earned a nomination for Men's Young Talent of the Year at the 2026 Ballon d'Or.
Team Momentum
Bournemouth secured its opening Premier League victory of the campaign last weekend against Sunderland. The side now aims to carry that result forward when Ruben Amorim's Manchester United visit the Vitality Stadium.
