Justin Kluivert
26-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 8/30/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kluivert developed well during 2024/25 under Andoni Iraola's leadership, as he completed the campaign as the club's top goalscorer with 12 and creator of the most assists with six. He also assumed the mantle of penalty taker where he successfully converted all six attempted. The regular starting midfielder will continue as a kernel element of the Cherries starting XI in 2025/26 where he'll hope to improve on his tally of goals and assists as he grows further into a world-class player.
Starting to train
Kluivert (calf) has started to train but is not an option for Saturday's match against Wolves, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Justin has done some things with us; he's in a more difficult position than Ryan Christie, but it's good news that he has started doing things with the group."
ANALYSIS
Kluivert is going to miss another match as he deals with a calf injury, with the attacker only trained slightly but unable to fully play a match yet. That said, he will likely look to return in their next match, but way wait until after the international break in a few weeks to be cautious. Once he is fit, he should see an elevated role, notching 18 goal contributions in 34 appearances last campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leverkusen showing interest
Leverkusen want to sign Kluivert, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Leverkusen need to sign a new playmaker in order to fill the void left by Florian Wirtz, who's set to join Liverpool in the near future. Kluivert would be an absolute success in the Bundesliga, but it's unclear if the Cherries would be open to letting him leave, especially since Bournemouth could lose other key players, such as Antoine Semenyo or Milos Kerkez, in the coming weeks.
