Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed injury issues for Philip Billing.

Billing missed the preseason defeat to Atalanta.

Iraola told the Daily Echo: "He had some issues, small issues.

"I hope he is able to train in two or three days, but yesterday in training he had some pain he felt and we decided not to risk obviously in pre-season.

"We hope he is ready for this week."
