The Netherlands international had been sidelined since January after undergoing knee surgery following the Cherries’ home game against Arsenal.
Speaking ahead of the match, Iraola said he was encouraged by Kluivert’s recovery progress, though the forward is not yet ready for competitive action.
“I think it’s very positive news for us. Justin is a very important player in our team. He has still not been training fully this week but at a very good level,” he said.
“Probably, Sunday arrives too early for him but I think he will help us in these last games of the season. He will have, I hope, quality minutes.
“After such a long time out, four or five months, I think everything has gone smoothly. After training, his knee is responding well, no swelling, no issues, so I think it’s going to be a good help for these last games of the season.
“But still for this one, it’s going to be too much.”
