AFC Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has refused to rule out Marcos Senesi from this weekend’s trip to Luton Town.

Senesi suffered a hamstring injury in the 2-0 win over Burnley and hasn’t played since limping off early on in the victory at Turf Moor.

But the Argentina international could be available for Saturday's trip to Kenilworth Road.

Iraola said: “I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, because every day he does more things with the group.

“Also these are kind of trainings where we cannot push a lot. They are almost recovery trainings we are doing.

“In between the games, he is able to do it with the team. So I hope he can be in the squad I think.”

There aren’t any fresh injury concerns in the squad, but there are some doubts with those suffering from illness.

A few players have been ill over the past week and the boss has said that knowing who will be available is difficult at the moment.

He continued: “Sometimes I am very clear and I tell you this will be and this will not, but this week is going to be difficult.

“Because like I told you after the (Crystal Palace) game, we have some cases of I don’t want to say ‘illness’ but they are not probably feeling 100 per cent, but we still have two days.

“Tomorrow they could come fresh and they are available for the game.

“It is true we have some players who are let’s say in doubtful conditions to perform if the game was today.

“Luckily for us, we still have two days and we hope they can recover and help us.

“They are not fresh injuries, nothing injury-related, but it is true we have some situations we are dealing with day to day.

“It is true that we have some doubts, yes.

“The key for me is if they have a temperature or not. If you have a temperature, probably you will be two or three days with these symptoms and it is difficult to play football with a temperature.

“It is a matter of different situations. But we still have two days and I hope we don’t miss more players.”
