Hamstring issue cleared for Tuesday
Cook (hamstring) has been cleared for Tuesday's clash against Manchester City after training normally throughout the week, according to coach Andoni Iraola. "I think Lew was the last one there but he has been training for us normally all week, so everyone is ready."
Analysis: Cook's return is a welcome boost for Bournemouth heading into the final fixture of the season, having been sidelined since February with hamstring and calf issues. Manager Andoni Iraola confirmed no other injury concerns ahead of the match, giving him a full squad to choose from for the visit of Manchester City. The midfielder had been a regular starter before the injury struck, and his availability gives the coaching staff an additional option in the engine room for Tuesday's clash.
Could return against Man City
Cook (hamstring) is making progress but will not be available for Saturday's clash against Fulham, with coach Andoni Iraola monitoring his condition ahead of the subsequent fixture against Man City, according to Jack Hillman of Nerve Sport.
Analysis: Cook has been sidelined for around two months with a hamstring issue and while his recovery is heading in the right direction, the Fulham fixture comes too soon for him to feature. Manager Iraola will assess where he is in his recovery after the weekend before making any decision on his involvement against Man City next week, with the midfielder hoping to contribute something meaningful in the final fixtures of the season after a solid run of starts before the injury struck.
