AI match recap
Bournemouth arrive with genuine momentum, a loud home setting and a settled recent rhythm, while Milan come with the quality and pressing structure expected from an Amorim side. The major selection theme is Milan's stretched squad: Chukwueze is a fresh concern, Terracciano is suspended, and defensive options are already reduced. Bournemouth must not allow Milan clean central progression into Cisse and the supporting attackers. Light rain should add a little unpredictability to transitions and loose-ball phases without fundamentally changing either side's approach.
Injuries and absences
Milan's absences are most significant at the back and in the wide roles: Gabbia, Saelemaekers and suspended Terracciano reduce continuity, while Chukwueze's hip problem further limits attacking width. Bournemouth have no new concerns, but Scott remains unavailable and Kroupi is not eligible for this European fixture.
