AFC Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has provided an update on Alex Scott and Tyler Adams.
The midfield duo signed for the club carrying injuries and are continuing their rehab at Vitality Stadium.
But their highly-anticipated debuts will have to wait as neither of them are close according to the boss.
“They both need time,” Iraola said.
“The club signed the players knowing they will be out for some games, I think Tyler should be earlier than Alex.
“Alex will spend more time out, neither of them are close to playing.”
Elsewhere on the injury front, there was positive news on Lewis Cook, who looks likely to return next week according to the head coach.
He continued: “We have some injuries but it’s difficult for those players to recover in time for the weekend.
“Next week, we are playing three games and Lewis is the closest out of the injured players.
“I think he will be able to help us during the week, but I don’t expect anyone else to be available for tomorrow’s game.”
