Ryan Christie
30-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
GTD
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 9/21/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Christie was excellent throughout the 2024/25 campaign, starting almost every match he was fit for while adding five goal contributions. There was some concern that Tyler Adams would eat into his minutes, but Christie was an unquestioned starter, at least until a groin injury ended his season early. The injury isn't expected to change his starting gig for 2025/26, though if Adams and Alex Scott can remain healthy, there's a chance the consistent minutes evaporate. Christie isn't a major offensive threat, but in the right situation with set pieces, he can always impress on the score sheet.

Misses out Saturday
Christie was absent from Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton due to a knock, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Alexander Smith of the Daily Echo. "He had a big knock two days ago, training yesterday. He could train, and he trained, but he was limping, and it didn't make any sense to take risks, especially so early in the season."
ANALYSIS
Christie missed out on Sunday's match after suffering an injury in training, with the midfielder not being risked this early in the campaign. That said, it appears his issues are only minor, as the club's coach is already optimistic he could return in time for Sunday's contest against Newcastle. The club will hope for him to heal quickly, as he has been battling some fitness issues and has yet to see a start this season despite starting in 27 of his 29 appearances last season.

Too early to play Friday
Christie (groin) has resumed team training this week but it is too early for him to play on Friday for the season opener against Liverpool, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "Ryan has been training this week with us, which is positive. It's too early for him to play as he hasn't done any pre-season. He hasn't done a lot of things for a lot of weeks, so it's too early - but it's good to have him back on the pitch with the group."
