Iraola discussed the availability of Ryan Christie for the match. Christie has been training normally this week, and Iraola hopes he will be able to join the team tomorrow. Christie has been out of action for several months, but Iraola is optimistic about his chances of performing well.
The Bournemouth manager also talked about the team's need to sign a new centre-back. They lost Ilya Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen, and this position is currently their main focus. Iraola emphasized the importance of improving the team in every position and keeping a close eye on the transfer market.
Iraola also shared his thoughts on departures from the team. With a large squad, there will likely be players leaving before the transfer window ends. However, Iraola is keen to keep good players who cannot find a suitable solution to leave.
Finally, Iraola discussed the threat posed by Wolves. He mentioned striker Jørgen Strand Larsen, who scored two goals against Bournemouth last season. Iraola also praised Antoine Semenyo, who reacted positively to the abuse he received from a Liverpool fan. Semenyo responded with a great performance against the Reds, scoring a brace.
