Iraola discusses player conditions and challenges ahead of the Wolves match this Saturday.
Iraola mentioned that there are no new injury issues for the team. He noted that a few players have minor problems, but he is optimistic they will be ready to play on Saturday.
Ryan Christie is back after serving a one-match suspension. However, Antoine Semenyo will not play because he received his fifth yellow card in the last game against Brighton.
Iraola expressed that losing Semenyo is unfortunate, as he is an important player. The team sees this suspension as a chance for him to rest after playing in all 12 Premier League matches this season.
Reflecting on the last two games, which ended in losses, Iraola said the team was not as effective as in previous matches. He emphasized that if the team is not performing at their best, they will struggle to win.
Looking ahead to the match against Wolves, Iraola expects another tough challenge. Wolves have won their last two league games and are in good form. He acknowledged that they have not lost in their last four matches and that Bournemouth must be prepared to face a strong team.
Iraola noted that it is not surprising to see Wolves improve. He explained that they had a tough start to the season, facing many top teams. Now, they are playing against teams at a similar level, which has helped them perform better.
He also praised Gary O’Neil for his work at Bournemouth, recognizing how challenging it is to stay in the Premier League after being promoted. He highlighted the success the team had under O’Neil’s management.
Iraola pointed out that Matheus Cunha is a key player for Wolves. He described Cunha as someone who can change the game with his ability to score or assist. Iraola knows Cunha well from their time in La Liga and considers him a top player.
