Bournemouth investigation involving Alex Jimenez comes ahead of Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Fulham, with the 21-year-old right-back ruled out of selection pending further review.

In an official statement, AFC Bournemouth confirmed awareness of the situation and stressed that the matter is being treated seriously.

“The club understand the seriousness of the matter and it is currently being investigated,” the statement read.

As a result, Jimenez will not feature in the squad for the upcoming Premier League match, with the club also declining to provide further comment while investigations continue.

The Spanish defender, who joined Bournemouth from AC Milan last summer before making the move permanent in February on a long-term deal, has been an important part of the squad this season.

He has made 32 appearances across all competitions, scoring once in a memorable 3-2 victory over Liverpool at home.
