Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says his players will train on Christmas Day.

The Cherries will meet Fulham on Boxing Day.

Asked if he would have the team in for training on Christmas Day, Iraola replied: “We have to train because there are a lot of games - we cannot stop.

“We will have a small break after in January.

“But now it's a moment to focus and keep pushing, and think that we have important games ahead, that we need the points.

“Obviously they will be home with their families, but they have to know that we have to keep training and we have to keep playing games.

“It will be for Fulham, and for sure it will be for us."
