Bournemouth boss Iraola admits Kelly frustration: So good against Chelsea

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits he's frustrated losing defender Lloyd Kelly.

Kelly is out until after the October international break due to another calf issue.

He had impressed in defeat at Brighton and also the draw with Chelsea.

"It's not exactly the same problem, but it is frustrating because he was amazing in the last two games," boss Iraola told the Daily Echo.

“He played so good against Chelsea and he played so good the other day (at Brighton), and now again to have this, I don't think it's going to be a long thing, but another stop and you have to reset again.

“Especially for him, I think it's not easy, because he was feeling well, he played two very good games.

“But it is a chance also for other players to step up and make their point to keep starting."
