Travers recalled from Stoke loan

AFC Bournemouth can confirm goalkeeper Mark Travers has been recalled from his loan spell at Stoke City.

An application to recall Travers due to exceptional circumstances was accepted by the Premier League, EFL and Football Association this morning, with Andrei Radu the only senior goalkeeper available to play.

Head coach Andoni Iraola had previously confirmed that Radu will start tomorrow’s game with Burnley, revealing Neto will be absent for several weeks with an ankle injury sustained in training.

Travers had made 14 appearances for Stoke this season, keeping a clean sheet in his most recent outing against Leeds United on Wednesday.

The Republic of Ireland international has played on 70 occasions for the Cherries and will be immediately available for selection.
