Builds fitness with under-21s
Milosavljevic (fitness) has returned to action with Bournemouth's under-21 side and is expected to make another appearance at that level as he continues building his fitness, according to coach Marco Rose, per Bournemouth Echo. "Veljko played with the under-21s. He's going to play again with the under-21s because he was out for a long, long time, but he's back as well."
Analysis: Milosavljevic is making encouraging progress after a lengthy absence caused by a knee injury sustained during preseason, having recently returned to action with Bournemouth's under-21 team. The Serbian center-back is expected to feature in another youth match before being considered for senior selection, suggesting he still needs additional playing time to regain full match fitness. He has yet to make a first-team appearance this season, with his recovery having progressed from individual running and ball work to competitive minutes. Although his return to the senior squad is approaching, Bournemouth appear set to take a cautious approach following his extended spell on the sidelines.
Remains sidelined against Sunderland
Milosavljevic (knee) remains unavailable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland despite making progress in his recovery from a preseason injury.
Analysis: Milosavljevic will have to wait longer for his season debut after failing to recover in time for Sunday's meeting with Sunderland. The center-back has recently resumed running and individual ball work, with coach Marco Rose previously identifying him as one of Bournemouth's injured players closest to returning. However, he has yet to regain sufficient fitness to rejoin the matchday squad, having also missed Thursday's Europa League clash against Sturm Graz. His return to competitive action remains uncertain, and he could initially be eased back into the rotation once fully cleared.
