Latest Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton team information
Bournemouth not only had to suffer the defeat against Brighton but also suffered a big loss when Ryan Christie suffered an adductor injury and was forced off the field in the 26th minute. The Scottish midfielder has had to play with pain in the past time but this time he may not be able to continue playing.
Alongside Christie, the Cherries' injury list also includes Julian Araujo (thigh), Marcos Senesi (thigh), Enes Unal (knee) and Adam Smith (unspecified injury). Meanwhile, centre-back Ilya Zabarnyi will miss the second of three games after Bournemouth failed to appeal his red card against Wolves.
In Christie's absence, Alex Scott could be given a chance to feature in midfield. Up front, Brazilian striker Evanilson could make his FA Cup debut after recovering from a broken leg and returning midweek.
On the other side of the front line, Wolves did not suffer any new injuries after the defeat to Fulham, but their list of injured players is still very long with names such as Leon Chiwone (knee), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Rodrigo Gomes (groin), Goncalo Guedes (knee), Hwang Hee-chan (thigh) and Emmanuel Agbadou (thigh).
Up front, Matheus Cunha is the biggest hope as he aims to score in his fourth consecutive FA Cup match, after scoring against West Brom and Brentford last season.
In terms of personnel, goalkeeper Sam Johnstone could be given the chance to start instead of Jose Sa, while striker Jorgen Strand Larsen could return after recovering from injury.

Latest football commentary on Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton
Bournemouth are in a tight race for European football in the Premier League, but they still have ambitions to make their mark in the FA Cup – a competition in which they have never made it past the quarter-finals.
Under manager Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth have had impressive performances in the FA Cup this season, including a 5-1 win over West Bromwich Albion in the third round and a 2-0 win over Everton thanks to goals from Antoine Semenyo and Daniel Jebbison.
With just one win away from equalling their best run in FA Cup history – reaching the quarter-finals in 1956-57 and 2020-21 – Bournemouth certainly don’t want to stop there. However, their Premier League form has been on the wane, having lost two of their last three games, including a 2-1 defeat to Brighton in midweek.
More worryingly, that defeat came just days after a home defeat to Wolves on February 22. This puts Bournemouth at risk of losing three consecutive games at the Vitality Stadium for the first time since December 2019.
On the other side of the front line, Wolves also just experienced a week full of mixed emotions. They beat Bournemouth 1-0 away but lost 1-2 to Fulham right at home last midweek.
After a bright start when Ryan Sessegnon opened the scoring in the opening seconds, Wolves let Joao Gomes equalise before Rodrigo Muniz scored the winner for Fulham, putting Wolves in a dangerous position.
Wolves are currently 17th in the table and could be in danger of being cut back by Leicester City if the Foxes win against West Ham on Thursday. However, Wolves have been impressive away from home in the FA Cup, beating Bristol City and Blackburn to reach the fifth round.
Wolves reached the quarter-finals of last season's FA Cup, with a dramatic defeat of Coventry City at Molineux. They are now aiming to reach back-to-back FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since the 1990s.
To do that, Wolves would have to repeat the feat of winning away to Bournemouth twice in the same season – something they have not done since 2002-03 when they beat Reading twice.
