Bournemouth v Crystal Palace: Eagles forward ruled out, Cherries duo face fitness tests

Christian Benteke remains Crystal Palace’s only significant absentee for Monday’s Premier League fixture at Bournemouth.

The striker remains sidelined with a knee injury, so Jordan Ayew is expected to continue to deputise.

Scott Dann and Connor Wickham continue their recoveries from long-term knee injuries, while Jairo Riedewald misses out with a knock.

Provisional squad: Hennessey, Guaita, Speroni, Wan-Bissaka, Ward, Tomkins, Sakho, Kelly, Van Aanholt, Souare, Townsend, Kouyate, McArthur, Meyer, Milivojevic, Puncheon, Schlupp, Ayew, Kaikai, Sorloth, Zaha.

Bournemouth will check on defender Diego Rico (hamstring) and midfielder Dan Gosling (calf).

Left-back Charlie Daniels is closing in on a return from his knee problem. Midfielder Kyle Taylor (calf) remains unavailable.

Provisional Squad: Begovic, S Cook, Ake, Smith, Rico, Surman, Lerma, Brooks, Fraser, Wilson, King, Boruc, Francis, Mings, Ibe, L Cook, Stanislas, Defoe, Daniels, Gosling.
