Bournemouth have confirmed that Álex Jiménez will not be part of the squad for their upcoming match against Fulham due to an ongoing investigation. This investigation pertains to alleged social media exchanges involving Jiménez and an individual claiming to be a 15-year-old girl. The club has taken this matter seriously, stating that they are aware of the posts circulating online and are currently looking into the situation. As a result, Jiménez will miss the Premier League game on Saturday. Head coach Andoni Iraola addressed the issue during his pre-match press conference, emphasizing the importance of the investigation. He expressed hope that the situation is not as serious as it appears. Jiménez, who recently celebrated his 21st birthday, joined Bournemouth from Milan in February for a reported fee of £17 million after a successful loan spell. The club has not provided further comments as the investigation continues.
