Bournemouth vs Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#4 Injury woes for Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth v Chelsea - Premier League

The first half was a solid performance by Bournemouth showed their intention to grind out a result today. Just when things were getting steady for the Cherries, their players started getting injured.

Jermain Defoe was the first one to go off after he reportedly picked up a knock in the first half. The striker made way for Jordan Ibe at halftime but is expected to be fit for the next game.

Bournemouth were 1-0 down when they got a glorious chance to counter, Junior Stanislas picked up a groin injury. The Englishman had just got past the Chelsea midfield and was busting into Chelsea's half when he went down injured at the half line.

Benik Afobe was the next to hit the treatment room for Bournemouth. He had a minor collision with David Luiz when he tried to pass the ball and he ended up injuring himself.

The Cherries will be hoping that they can manage to get results in the coming weeks without the injured players as they are 19th in the table and are desperately in need of points.
