David Brooks
Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks (28) has been ruled out of tomorrow’s Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace due to a minor hamstring injury. The Welsh international sustained the problem while representing his country in a World Cup qualifier against Belgium earlier this week.
Head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed the setback during his pre-match press conference, revealing that an MRI scan showed a small muscle injury.
