Edwards may face Chelsea in friendly

Winger Kyle Edwards has been invited to train with AFC Bournemouth and could feature in Tuesday’s pre-season friendly against Chelsea.

Edwards is out of contract after opting to leave West Bromwich Albion following their relegation to the Championship last season.

The 23-year-old made 49 appearances for the Baggies, including five in the Premier League.

Edwards also had a spell on loan to Exeter City in League Two in 2017/18 and has been capped by England at under-16, under-17 and under-20 level.

He may play some part when the Cherries host Thomas Tuchel’s Champions League winners at Vitality Stadium (7.45pm kick-off).
