Bournemouth boss Iraola explains Kelly absence for Man City defeat

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says Liam Kelly is facing a scan after missing defeat to Manchester City.

The defender picked up a hip injury in training.

Iaola told the Daily Echo: “He didn't feel well yesterday.

“I think he has something in the hip flexor.

“Probably a strain. We have to assess him and see how serious it is and when he will be able to help us again."

On making the FA Cup tie with Leicester on Tuesday, Iraola added: “I will have to check with Kelly because, he hasn't had the MRI still, and he felt something in the hip.

“It's a strange area we'll see, we don't know still.

“I don't think we will recover anyone else now."
