Marcus Tavernier
26-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 2/21/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tavernier's 2024/25 season was once again limited by injuries after he missed a couple months between ankle and groin problems. From 29 appearances (20 starts), he netted three and created five assists, solid numbers as a key playmaker for the Cherries. His numbers were largely consistent across the board, aided by a split role of set pieces whenever on the pitch. If Tavernier can stay healthy an entire season, there's a chance he'll set career highs in the Premier League with 10 goal contributions possible, but he's yet to show he can do that across the last three campaigns.
No timeline to return
Tavernier (hamstring) will miss some time and has no timeline to return yet, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo.
ANALYSIS
Tavernier suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's draw against Brighton and is set to miss some time on the sidelines and hasn't yet been given a timeline to return. This is a big blow for the Cherries given the current injuries and recent departure of Antoine Semenyo. Newcomer Alex Toth could see a greater role from scratch with his new club, while Amine Adli could get more starting chances as well until Tavernier returns.

Scores goal before injury
Tavernier scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), four crosses and three corners in Monday's 1-1 draw against Brighton before suffering a hamstring injury in the 71st minute that could make him miss some time on the sidelines, coach Andoni Iraola confirmed in a press conference, according to Times and Star. "He felt his hamstring. He's a player that has had in the past problems with his hamstring. He's a key player for us. To lose him now after losing Antoine and Justin is massive for us."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to leave Cherries
Tavernier is not expected to leave Bournemouth during the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Nottingham Forest have made an approach to sign Tavernier in January. However, the Cherries are not expected to let the 26-year-old winger depart the club, especially after allowing Antoine Semenyo to join Manchester City. Tavernier has been a regular for Bournemouth this season, so the Cherries aren't going to listen to offers for the dynamic winger.
