Marcus Tavernier Injury: Scores goal before injury

Tavernier scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), four crosses and three corners in Monday's 1-1 draw against Brighton before suffering a hamstring injury in the 71st minute that could make him miss some time on the sidelines, coach Andoni Iraola confirmed in a press conference, according to Times and Star. "He felt his hamstring. He's a player that has had in the past problems with his hamstring. He's a key player for us. To lose him now after losing Antoine and Justin is massive for us."

Tavernier scored one goal in Monday's draw against Brighton, his third goal contribution in the last three games across all competitions, but the attacking midfielder had to leave the pitch in the 71st minute after suffering a hamstring injury. Tavernier will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, but his situation must be closely monitored since he has already been dealing with similar types of injuries in the past. This setback is a massive blow for the Cherries since they have already lost Antoine Semenyo to a transfer and Justin Kluivert to a knee injury, leaving the attacking options increasingly thin if the club does not sign new players. Bournemouth will hope to see David Brooks return from his ankle issue to replace Tavernier in the frontline in the upcoming games.
