Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil believes the ongoing injury woes at the club are not systemic.

Many fans have questioned whether there is an issue with training methods or the medical staff at the club.

However, O’Neil has defended everyone at the Cherries, stating the injury crisis is more about individuals getting hurt rather than a pattern.

Marcus Tavernier (hamstring), Matias Vina (knee), Junior Stanislas (muscle), Lloyd Kelly (calf), Lewis Cook (knee), David Brooks (hamstring) and Illia Zabarnyi (ankle) are on the injury list.

O’Neil told the Daily Echo: “Of course, we look at all of them.

“But a lot of them (have been unfortunate), obviously the Dom Solanke one was just a training incident with no-one around him.

“Matias Vina has a shot in training. We have to shoot in training. His foot hits someone else’s foot, it can happen.

“The muscle injuries are ones that you look at and you think, could we have prevented that?

“But we haven’t had too many of them. Tav’s hamstring, we need to find out some more about.

“But I think you can always look and try and figure out what it is.

“But they are obviously very individual and we haven’t really suffered the same injury consistently.

“It’s just been a tough spell for us. We’re hopeful we can come out of it quickly.”
