Lewis Cook
29-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 5/2/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cook was rock solid at the heart of the Bournemouth midfield yet again last season, though he was shifted to right-back for a spell due to a variety of injuries. His one goal and three assists is about what he's produced across nearly a decade and that's not going to change in 2025/26. He's never going to be a top offensive contributor, but he should remain a regular after finishing just 22 minutes short of 3,000 last season. His split role on set pieces keeps him relevant in fantasy, though a lack of shooting caps his upside a decent amount.
Out for extended period
Cook (hamstring) suffered a setback during the international break and is now sidelined for an extended period, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per Nerve Sport.
ANALYSIS
Cook had been nearing a return after missing five consecutive matches with a hamstring injury, making this latest development a significant blow for Bournemouth. The midfielder had been a locked-in starter before going down, starting in six of the seven matches prior to his injury, and his prolonged absence will force Ryan Christie, Tyler Adams and Alex Scott to continue shouldering the midfield load for the Cherries heading into the final stretch of the season.

Suffers hamstring injury
Cook missed Saturday's 0-0 draw against West Ham United due to a hamstring injury, coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo. "Yesterday he felt something training. Still, we haven't assessed him properly. We haven't done the MRI, but it doesn't look big, but I think there has to be something there. I think it's in the hamstring, and that's the reason he was out today. We will have to wait for the MRI and see if it's something small, but I think there is an injury there."
