Iraola confirmed that striker Dango Ouattara will not be playing in this weekend's match. He explained that Ouattara has a muscle injury in his abductor and will likely be out for the next three games. Iraola mentioned that Ouattara is usually quick to recover from injuries, but it's unlikely he'll be available for these upcoming matches.

Ouattara has been a key player for Bournemouth, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in just 32 top-flight appearances this season. Iraola described him as a huge loss for the team.

Iraola also mentioned that several other players will be out due to injuries, including Ryan Christie, Enes Ünal, Luis Sinisterra, and Dango Ouattara. The team will have to adapt to these absences and find ways to compensate for the loss of their key players.
