Justin Kluivert
26-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 4/25/2026
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.
Could be done for season
Kluivert will miss "months" and it could be more or less depending on the surgery, according to manager Andoni Iraola. " He will have surgery Thursday and depending what they decide to do, will be. But it will be months. It can be more months or less months, depending how they approach the surgery... It's the knee capsule, the patella... what I've been told is they will open, they will see what they can do and depending if sometimes they decide to repair it and it's more time, maybe if it's not as bad, they just clean it and it's less time."
ANALYSIS
A better timeline for Kluivert will be decided after surgery, but there's a real chance he won't be back this season. While it's not ligament related, there's still a big question on when he can be back, which will be key with the World Cup in six months. The best-case scenario will possibly mean a return in March or April, while the worst-case is that he's done for the season. With Antoine Semenyo headed out, Bournemouth could move into the market for new options. If not, it could mean heavier time for Eli Kroupi, Amine Adli and even Enes Unal.

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.
