Iraola on Kluivert's return, 'massive' fight for Europe and Fulham
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham at Craven Cottage (15:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Iraola said he expects Justin Kluivert to return to the squad for the first time in more than four months: "Justin has been training with the team normally this week. I expect him to be in the squad.
" Lewis Cook, who has been sidelined since February, will probably not be fit to return on Saturday but could feature in the Cherries' final two matches: "Lew also has been training, not fully, and is probably a little bit behind Justin in the process but is getting there. Probably not for tomorrow but he's training normally today and we will see. I hope Justin definitely and Lew can be available for the last two games.
" On Bournemouth's chances of qualifying for Europe: "We are in the fight but we still need good results. You need wins, we don't have easy games. The thing that makes me optimistic is that we are in a good place.
I hope we can go all the way. " Referring to the atmosphere within the squad, Iraola said: "I feel from the players that everyone wants it! Everyone is available and everyone wants to contribute.
I have to make big decisions to leave players out of the squad but it creates competition and a good atmosphere. " He emphasised his faith in the team: "The only thing that makes me optimistic is that, I see my team in a really good place. We are doing good things, we are playing well.
