CHERRIES will be without at least six players for the visit of Manchester United tomorrow, including Tyler Adams and Antoine Semenyo.

USA international Adams missed last week’s defeat at Luton Town due to a back problem and is continuing to struggle.

Meanwhile, both Marcus Tavernier (hamstring) and Semenyo (calf) were withdrawn at Kenilworth Road and will not recover in time to face the Red Devils.

Long-term absentees Ryan Fredericks and Luis Sinisterra remain unavailable, while Chris Mepham is also still ruled out due to illness, which continues to spread around Cherries’ training ground.

Discussing team news ahead of facing Man Utd, head coach Andoni Iraola said: “We have some with colds.

“We are going through these two weeks, you can even see with me with my voice you can notice it for sure and there are some players that are 50:50.

“But I will tell you the ones that are out. Tyler Adams, Chris Mepham, Marcus Tavernier, Ryan Fredericks and Antoine Semenyo, they are out. It is a shame.

“Different circumstances, but you saw in the past week with Antoine and Tav who were out and we still cannot count with the other three.”

Asked how serious the injury to Tavernier is, Iraola added: “Tav is probably the worst we have right now, because it is a hamstring injury.

“It is just one month until the end of the season. I hope he plays, but it is going to be the more difficult to play a lot of games.

“I hope he can play the last games, but now the time is difficult.”

On Semenyo, Iraola said: “It’s a calf injury. It’s not big.

“The problem with Ant in the past week is that he was almost all week like I am now, with a cold and not 100 per cent.

“He played 45 minutes against Palace and was probably not at his 100 per cent.

“He wanted to push and he is in good form, so we wanted him to push.

“Probably there was more risk involved, when you are not feeling well and you go to a football pitch and probably the injury risk is higher.

“But for me, for the technical staff, for the doctors, for him, it’s difficult to make this decision.

“Also this week we had some players that are 50:50. It is difficult to decide, because sometimes it works, sometimes they can get injured.

“But I don’t expect him to be out for a long time. It is not like Tav’s injury, where he had to stop because he couldn’t run. I think it is better than this, but it is still a calf injury.”

Quizzed on the other absentees, Iraola said: “Tyler is improving. He is out definitely tomorrow, but it is a muscle thing.

“I think he can continue this improvement and he can be available next week.

“Meps has a health issue. Even with Ryan Fredericks it is the same situation. His is the most difficult situation to deal with.

“I hope we don’t have more. With a cold, normally you don’t lose games, you try to push, it is sometimes decisions we have to make about if they are ready for 90 minutes or go on I the second half.

“I expect to take these decisions form today to tomorrow.”
