"Alisson is not part of the squad tomorrow and he won't travel to Brazil for the national team. Hugo [Ekitike] is going to train again today, let's see where he is. The same can be said for Frederico [Chiesa]. It depends on how fast the recovery goes. I will be surprised if he [Alisson] will be there for the first game after the international break."
"Giorgi Mamardashvili will play instead of Alisson. I think we've seen against Southampton how well he's adjusted. We knew we were bringing in a very good goalkeeper. When he plays his first game that's a way of seeing he's adjusted really well to our club. It's not a surprise because he's a quality goalkeeper. Now he can do what we've had to do so many times in the past replacing Alisson, like we've done so many times before."
"Unbeaten in the league since their Friday night opener at Anfield, Bournemouth's early momentum has been stalled by consecutive draws: at home to Newcastle and at Leeds last week. Fulham visit the Vitality on Friday, offering Andoni Iraola's side a presentable chance of recapturing winning ways and going second in the table. After a turbulent summer, Iraola has sought consistency in his team selection."
Alisson is not in the squad for tomorrow and will not travel to Brazil for the national team. Hugo Ekitike is returning to training and Frederico Chiesa's involvement depends on recovery speed. Alisson is unlikely to be available for the first game after the international break. Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal and has shown strong adjustment and quality, notably against Southampton. Bournemouth remain unbeaten since their opener but have stalled with consecutive draws. Fulham visit the Vitality, giving Bournemouth a chance to climb the table, while Andoni Iraola seeks consistency and defensive stability.
