• Brentford expecting duo back for trip to Cherries

Adams has missed Cherries’ last seven games after suffering from back spasms, whilst Tavernier was sidelined for the past five matches after pulling a hamstring in the away defeat to Luton Town at the start of April.

Lloyd Kelly, who was absent from Bournemouth’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend due to illness, has recovered and returned to training.

Iraola shared: “Lloyd Kelly will play tomorrow. He has been involved in training normally so we have no concerns about this.

“So, we’ve recovered Lloyd, Tyler Adams and Marcus Tavernier will also be part of the squad.”

Cherries will be without the services of Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez, who serves the third and final match of a three-game ban incurred by his red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Luis Sinisterra (hamstring), Ryan Fredericks (calf) and Chris Mepham (illness) are all still sidelined.

Heading into their penultimate game of the Premier League season, Cherries sit 10th with 48 points from 36 games.
