Lewis Cook
28-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
GTD
Injury Shoulder
Est. Return 9/27/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cook was rock solid at the heart of the Bournemouth midfield yet again last season, though he was shifted to right-back for a spell due to a variety of injuries. His one goal and three assists is about what he's produced across nearly a decade and that's not going to change in 2025/26. He's never going to be a top offensive contributor, but he should remain a regular after finishing just 22 minutes short of 3,000 last season. His split role on set pieces keeps him relevant in fantasy, though a lack of shooting caps his upside a decent amount.
Suffers shoulder injury
Cook missed Sunday's 0-0 draw against Newcastle due to a shoulder injury, coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo.
ANALYSIS
Cook returned from his long term knee injury during the victory against the Seagulls 11 days ago but has suffered a setback since then, as he was reportedly missing from Sunday's clash against the Magpies due to a shoulder injury. His timeline for return and extent of his new injury remain uncertain for the time being, but it is a big blow for the Cherries since Cook is a regular starter in the midfield when fit and available. A new spell on the sidelines will allow Alex Scott to keep regular playing time in the midfield while Cook is out.
