5'11"
159 lb
Available for limited minutes
Adli (calf) is available for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz but will be limited to a brief appearance, according to coach Marco Rose, per Alexander Smith. "To have Adli and Kluivert back is very important, not just on the pitch but in the dressing room with their European experience. They are ready for some minutes, not a full game or 45, but they are ready to contribute"
Analysis: Adli is set to return to the matchday squad after recovering from a calf injury sustained during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis. The attacker has yet to make an appearance this season, and manager Marco Rose confirmed he is not ready to play a full half but could contribute limited minutes off the bench. Adli recorded three goals and one assist across 31 Premier League appearances last season, including 10 starts, and will likely be eased back into competitive action following his lengthy absence.
Could return in next two fixtures
Adli (calf) could return to action in either Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz or Sunday's Premier League matchup against Sunderland as he approaches full fitness, according to the Sunderland Echo.
Analysis: Adli has yet to feature this season after suffering a calf injury during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis. The attacker has been making steady progress in his recovery, with coach Marco Rose previously suggesting he could return soon. Adli will be assessed ahead of the upcoming fixtures, with Thursday's Europa League contest potentially offering his first opportunity to return before Sunday's league matchup. The versatile attacker recorded three goals and one assist across 31 Premier League appearances last season, including 10 starts, and could initially be eased back into action off the bench after his extended absence.
Closing in on return
Adli is progressing in his recovery and could return shortly after Veljko Milosavljevic, according to coach Marco Rose, per Sky Sports News. "The next one could be Amine, some days later."
Analysis: Adli has been sidelined since suffering an injury during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis, leaving him unavailable for the opening stretch of the campaign. Manager Marco Rose's update provides the clearest indication yet that the attacker is approaching the latter stages of his recovery, with his return expected only a few days after Veljko Milosavljevic. Adli was primarily a rotational option last season, recording three goals and one assist across 31 appearances, including 10 starts, and his ability to operate across several attacking positions should give Rose additional flexibility once he is cleared.
Set to be out for several weeks
Adli will be sidelined for some weeks after suffering an injury during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis, according to Bournemouth Echo.
Analysis: Adli had come off during that match shaking his head, a reaction that hinted at a significant issue at the time, and this update now confirms an extended absence though a precise return date has not been given. He was mainly used as a rotational option last season, contributing three goals and an assist across 31 appearances, including 10 starts, but his versatility across multiple attacking positions still makes his absence a real dent in Bournemouth's forward depth chart. Adli is expected to continue his recovery in the coming weeks as the club monitors his progress.
Forced off with injury concern
Adli (undisclosed) was forced off during Bournemouth's preseason friendly against Real Betis, according to Jordan Clark.
Analysis: Adli took himself off and shook his head after going down, a reaction that often signals a significant injury, adding uncertainty around a player whose versatility and creativity across the frontline had made him a useful attacking option, contributing three goals and an assist across 31 appearances, including 10 starts, last season. His withdrawal could push Bournemouth to pursue another attacking option before the transfer window closes, and Adli is expected to undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury.
Scores goal in win
Adli scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus Everton.
Analysis: Adli finished a set piece that completed his team's comeback after 64 minutes of play Tuesday. He bounced back from one game without direct contributions, but he took at least one shot for the fourth time in a row while adding to his two goals and one assist over that period. However, he lacked playmaking output as he didn't take any corner kicks this time. In any case, his current momentum should be enough for him to retain offensive upside as a regular starter on the left wing.
Assists opener in 2-0 win
Adli assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Wolverhampton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.
Analysis: Amine Adli assisted Junior Kroupi in opening the scoring for Wolves. The winger has provided goal involvements in back-to-back games, having started three Premier League games in a row for the first time this season. Adli has benefited in that sense from the departure of Antoine Semenyo.
Nets winner
Adli scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and six crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Liverpool.
Analysis: Adli capitalised on the chaos in the box following a long throw and netted the winner in the 95th minute. He recorded three clearances, three tackles, one interception and one block and this was also only his second goal of the campaign.
Wins penalty in 1-1 draw
Adli was injured and subbed out in the 79th minute of Monday's 1-1 draw versus Brighton. He recorded two tackles (one won) and one clearance before exiting the match.
Analysis: Adli was very quick off the mark to win the penalty, which led to Bournemouth's only goal of the game. He was able to get to the ball first, and he was caught by Bart Verbruggen to win the penalty. This was only his fourth start of the year and he scored his only goal of the year in one of these starts.
Scores first of season
Adli scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Adli saw his second start of the season and made a strong impression, opening the scoring with a shot from the center of the box in the seventh minute of play. The goal marked his first of the campaign, while he is up to five shots (two on target) over the last two games. Additionally, he accounted for his first chance created in five appearances.
Gets first Premier League start
Adli had his first Premier League start against Leeds United before remaining an unused substitute against Fulham, highlighting his difficult start to the campaign with Bournemouth.
Analysis: Adli has been mainly a bench option since joining the Cherries over the summer before getting his first Premier League start against Leeds United. The attacking midfielder however didn't make it back-to-back appearances as he remained an unused substitute in the last game against Fulham. Adli seems to be having a difficult start to life with Bournemouth as adapting to the best league in the world can be tough for players of his profile, and he will likely need more time before earning regular playing time for the Cherries.
Joins AFC Bournemouth
Adli has signed a contract with AFC Bournemouth until 2030, joining on a permanent move from Bayer Leverkusen, his new club announced. "We're thrilled to bring a player of such calibre to AFC Bournemouth. Amine is a proven winner and someone that will be a real asset to our squad. He's entering the prime of his career and I'm really excited to bring him to the club. He's someone that has competed at the highest level and his ambition is very much aligned with ours. I'm looking forward to working together and seeing what we can achieve," said President of Football Operations Tiago Pinto.
Analysis: Adli was instrumental in Leverkusen's record-breaking 2023/24 season, as Xabi Alonso's team went undefeated domestically while winning both the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. The Moroccan made 29 appearances across those two competitions and scored nine goals. The 25-year-old, who also has Champions League experience, finished as a Europa League runner-up after Leverkusen reached the final last season. The former Toulouse player now joins the Cherries to discover the Premier League, giving coach Andoni Iraola another quality option in the attack.
