Eight Cherries players are out for the match against Liverpool, but the star player is back.

Eight AFC Bournemouth players unavailable for Liverpool EFL Cup clash

CHERRIES will be without eight players for the visit of Liverpool in the Carabao Cup tomorrow night (7.45pm)

Tyler Adams (hamstring), Neto (ankle), Emiliano Marcondes (foot), Ryan Fredericks (calf) and Darren Randolph (unwell) all remain sidelined, while Lewis Cook serves the second of a three-game ban.

There are two further absentees, with neither Mark Travers nor Luis Sinisterra available, having featured for Stoke City and Leeds United respectively in earlier rounds of the competition.

Cherries are however boosted by the return to fitness of Marcos Senesi, who missed Saturday’s win over Burnley.

Head coach Andoni Iraola told the Daily Echo: “I think we can play Marcos.

“He had some issues coming even from the Everton game, when he finished with some problems.

“But they are not big problems, so I think we can use him.”

He added: “We have Lewis Cook suspended, Luis Sinisterra and Mark Travers are cup-tied.

“The other injuries are the same we had in the past week.”

Discussing how he intends to approach his team selection for the cup clash, Iraola said: “It’s always difficult. We have enough players, especially in some positions there is strong competition.

“We have to see how they recover from the (Burnley) game.

“They all trained yesterday. Some of them were more tired than others, but no-one ended injured the other day.

“I think everyone is available and we have to take the best decisions to go with the best team we think is better for this game.”
