Andoni Iraola provided news about the state of his squad as **Bournemouth**travel to play Arsenal.
A record-equalling 11-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League can make history if it is extended at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and the **Bournemouth**boss has plenty of options to pick from.
‘I have difficult decisions to make’
"It has been strange. It's the first time I think during the season that we've had three weeks without a game. It's given us the chance to work with some of the players - half were with national teams.
*"It has been especially good for some players - like Julio Soler, Tyler Adams, Ben Gannon-Doak - who have finished this period with the team, in a good place, to be available again.*
“For some of them, they've had some days off. It's always risky. We did an in-house friendly, because you don't want a lot of time between games. We tried to simulate a game, we'll see if we are ready. We should be fresh, we should be motivated because we are facing Arsenal away in a big game.
"EliJunior Kroupi*** and Alex Jimenez came back from the national team with some niggles. It was precautionary they've had some rest. They're fully recovered and are ready to go.*
"**Justin Kluivert* is doing a very good recovery. He had surgery, he's on the time margins that we expected. Everything is going in a rush, he wants to play before the season ends because he wants to keep his options for the World Cup alive. e's doing really well but we cannot do stupid things.*
“We have to give the time that everybody needs. We hope that he can play before the season ends. He will need to progress as he has been doing as he is doing very well."
“The only injured players we have are Kluivert and Cook. Lewis Cook is taking more time than expected and he is not there. Everyone else is kind of available. There are some cases - like Soler, he's not ready to play a lot of minutes but he is at least training with the group. He's kind of recovered. Everyone else is ready, Adams, Doak, they've used the break to put themselves in contention.
"We're in a good place. I have difficult decisions to make. There will be more than 20 ready to travel."
