While Semenyo’s future remains a hot topic, he will be hoping to find the back of the net once again when Bournemouth return to action against strugglers Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
The south coast club have suffered a blow ahead of the game, however, after manager Iraola revealed midfielder Tyler Adams will be sidelined for “between two and three months” after tearing his medial collateral ligament (MCL) in Monday’s 4-4 draw with Manchester United.
“Tyler is injured and has torn his MCL, so he will definitely be out for some time. From our previous experience with MCL injuries, it is normally around two or three months,” Iraola told a pre-match press conference.
“It’s a big blow because he is an important player for us. Straight away, when you see the mechanism of the injury and the action itself, we felt it could be something serious.”
Meanwhile, two of Semenyo’s reported suitors collide on Saturday evening when Spurs entertain Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola’s City - who are also being strongly linked with the London-born attacker - entertain West Ham earlier in the day.
