The forward has been ruled out since the start of the year, when he picked up a knee injury in the first game of the calendar year against Arsenal, incidentally the last time Bournemouth tasted defeat in the league.
He had surgery, but he has been recovering well.

Speaking with ESPN.nl, Kluivert said the knee has healed better than expected.
“I received the good news that it is healing very well,” he said.
“They are very satisfied with what they see. They don’t see that often with an injury like this. We are very happy about that.”

Kluivert revealed that he has been training outside for the past couple of weeks by himself, and he is building up to a return to team training, particularly as he looks to get fit for the World Cup.
“I have been training outdoors alone for a little over two weeks now,” he said.
“That will certainly continue for another two weeks. We need to move up the ranks, and then it’s back to the team.
“Then you just need to have a good month of May and show [Ronald] Koeman that you are ready. I sent him a message myself with an update after the good news.”
Andoni Iraola gave an update on the forward, too, and said they are keen to progress him, but they have to be careful not to rush him back.

“Justin, I think, is doing a very good recovery, but he had surgery,” Iraola said.
“He's on the time margins that we expected. Everything is going fine, but he's on a rush because he wants to play before the season ends.
“He also wants to keep his options for the World Cup alive, and he's doing really well, but we cannot make stupid things also.
“We have to give the time that the injury needs. And I hope he can play before the season ends, but he's there.
“It's not going to be easy. He will have to progress as well as he is doing, because he's doing very well.”
