Latest Tottenham vs Bournemouth team news
Just 20 minutes after returning to the pitch from a knee injury in Thursday night's match, Tottenham striker and former Bournemouth player Dominic Solanke was forced to leave the field again following a heavy collision with AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro.
However, manager Ange Postecoglou issued a reassuring statement on Friday, confirming it was merely a bump to the lower back and not too serious. He hopes Solanke will be fit enough to face his former team, but his chances of starting remain uncertain.
In defense, center-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero could be given a chance to play after being benched in the match in the Netherlands. Ben Davies remains on the squad list, while Dejan Kulusevski (foot), Richarlison (calf) and Radu Dragusin (knee) are still unavailable.
Bournemouth are also set to welcome back an important centre-back, but not for the upcoming match. Ilya Zabarnyi is still serving his suspension and will miss the final game after receiving a red card in the Premier League defeat against Wolves.
Zabarnyi will continue to watch from the stands, along with other injured players such as Enes Unal (knee), Marcos Senesi (thigh), Julian Araujo (thigh), and Adam Smith (calf). However, coach Andoni Iraola has not ruled out the possibility of Ryan Christie (groin) playing, revealing that he will assess the player's fitness before kick-off.
Bournemouth are likely to retain most of the squad that beat Wolves in the FA Cup. Justin Kluivert is certain to return to the starting lineup as he maintains an impressive goalscoring form, with 10 away goals in the Premier League this season.

Latest football match prediction: Tottenham vs Bournemouth
After 90 minutes of competition in the European arena next Thursday evening, Ange Postecoglou may no longer be able to maintain his record of always winning a title in his second year managing a team. Tottenham had a disappointing performance when they traveled to AFAS Stadion, losing 0-1 to AZ Alkmaar.
Lucas Bergvall's unexpected own goal following a misplaced pass helped the Dutch side successfully avenge their 0-1 defeat to Spurs in the group stage. This loss followed a defeat by the same scoreline against Manchester City in the Premier League, where Erling Haaland scored the only goal to secure all three points for the defending champions.
The defeat against Man City ended Tottenham's run of three consecutive wins in the Premier League and pushed them down to 13th place in the table.
Postecoglou might argue that injuries have significantly impacted the team, but in reality, a drop in form was the main reason for their defeat against AZ. More worryingly, their home ground is no longer a reliable stronghold for Spurs.
The defeat against Man City marked a poor run of results for Tottenham at home, as they have won only one of their last nine Premier League matches and lost six. If they suffer another defeat on Sunday, it will be the first time they have suffered eight home defeats in a 38-round Premier League season.
On the other side of the pitch, Bournemouth still have a chance to compete for the title this season after overcoming Wolves in the fifth round of the FA Cup on penalties.
Andoni Iraola and his players capitalized on their numerical advantage when Matheus Cunha was sent off at the end of extra time to force the match into a penalty shootout. There, Matt Doherty and Boubacar Traoré failed to convert their penalties, giving Bournemouth a place in the quarter-finals.
However, their reward comes with a tough challenge: facing title contenders Manchester City in the quarter-finals. Nevertheless, the win against Wolves is a crucial morale boost, especially considering Bournemouth's struggles in the Premier League with three defeats in their last four matches, including two consecutive losses.
Defeats against Liverpool, Wolves, and most recently Brighton have pushed Bournemouth down to seventh place in the table, four points adrift of Champions League qualification. However, Justin Kluivert's consolation goal against Brighton extended their run of scoring away from home in the Premier League to 10 games.
If Bournemouth continue this impressive form, they have a chance to complete a double against Tottenham for the first time in history, after beating Spurs 1-0 at Vitality Stadium in December. However, the head-to-head history is not in their favor, as Bournemouth have lost six of their last seven visits to Tottenham's ground in the Premier League. This will be an opportunity for Spurs to regain their confidence and end their poor home run.
