Targeting early November return
Kroupi (foot) is expected to return around the beginning of November as he continues his recovery from surgery, according to coach Marco Rose, per Sky Sports News. "We expect Junior back, yeah, the beginning of November, maybe."
Analysis: Kroupi underwent foot surgery during preseason and was initially handed a three-to-four-month recovery timeline, putting him on track to miss a significant portion of the opening months of the campaign. Manager Marco Rose's latest update provides a more concrete target, with the forward now expected back around the beginning of November. Kroupi is coming off a breakout campaign in which he scored 13 goals in 21 starts, and he should have an opportunity to reclaim a prominent attacking role once he has rebuilt his match fitness.
Out three to four months
Kroupi is expected to be out for three to four months after undergoing foot surgery Wednesday, David Ornstein reports.
Analysis: Kroupi's foot surgery is a huge blow given the breakout season he had, one in which he established himself in the starting lineup and scored 13 goals in 21 starts as Bournemouth finished sixth and secured Europa League football, drawing links to several clubs along the way. The three-to-four-month timeline will keep him out for a significant chunk of the new season, and until he returns, Justin Kluivert is likely to continue in his place.
