Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is set for a spell on the sidelines after he had knee surgery while winger Luis Sinisterra is out with a hamstring injury, manager Andoni Iraola said ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at Aston Villa.
Iraola said Scott, who has featured in all eight league matches this season, trained well after Bournemouth's 2-0 win over Arsenal last weekend but the 21-year-old complained of knee pain after a session."He felt after training this week that his knee was blocked.
We did an MRI and they could see it was in the meniscus," Iraola told reporters on Friday."We decided to have the surgery and lucky for him the surgery could repair his meniscus, even if it means he will be out for a little bit more time."Iraola said Sinisterra was uncomfortable with his hamstring and the 25-year-old might take a week to recover."He came with some hamstring issues after the break.
He could play the game and continue training but there was a moment this week where he felt he could not continue," Iraola said."It does not look like something big, it may be a matter of just one week.
