BournemouthLeft out
Soler (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's match against Leeds United.
Analysis: Soler was a late call for Wednesday, but has not made the call, still out due to his hamstring injury. The good news for the defender is he will now have until the May 3 match against Palace to continue recovery, seeing over a week off. However, with only three appearances off the bench all season, he is likely to see a minimal role once fit.
Return still open
Soler (hamstring) remains in question for a return during Wednesday's match against Leeds United after he wasn't mentioned in manager Andoni Iraloa's press conference.
Analysis: Soler has been building up fitness and trying for a return for the past few weeks, and the picture around the defender seems not to have developed much, as he was not mentioned in the injury report. This will leave his use moving forward in question as the season nears an end, potentially returning at any time after the long layoff. Even once he does return, a smaller role will be handed to the left-back, only appearing from the bench in all three appearances this season.
Sill out Saturday
Soler (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Newcastle.
Analysis: Soler has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad despite building his fitness in team training over the past two weeks and the club posting an encouraging update ahead of the weekend. The hamstring strain has proven more stubborn than anticipated, and the club's measured approach to his return has led to another absence after he was already ruled out of the Arsenal fixture last weekend. Adrien Truffert is expected to retain the left-back spot, with Soler's availability for the coming fixtures to be monitored as he continues to build toward a competitive return.
Ramping up fitness
Soler (hamstring) has been building his fitness in team training over the past two weeks and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Newcastle, the club posted.
Analysis: Soler had been ruled out of the Arsenal fixture despite returning to training during the international break, but his progression over the past week is an encouraging sign that he is closing in on a competitive return. The club is clearly taking a measured approach given the nature of the hamstring strain, and his involvement against Newcastle will depend on how he responds in the final sessions before the weekend. Adrien Truffert has been holding down the left-back spot in his absence and should retain the role moving forward.
Remains out Saturday
Soler (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Arsenal.
Analysis: Soler returned to team training during the international break after a hamstring strain that had threatened to end his season prematurely, but has not yet recovered sufficiently to earn a spot in the matchday squad. Coach Andoni Iraola had acknowledged he was not ready to handle significant minutes, and the club opted to exercise caution rather than rush him back. Adrien Truffert is expected to retain the left-back role, with Soler's return to action likely to come gradually over the coming weeks.
Available to play
Soler (hamstring) returned to team training over the break and is back available moving forward, although he is not yet ready to handle significant minutes, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Daily Echo.
Analysis: Soler had been at risk of missing the remainder of the season with the hamstring strain, making his return to team sessions a more positive development than initially expected. The defender figures to ease back into action gradually rather than being thrown straight in. Adrien Truffert is expected to hold the left-back role for the Cherries until he returns to full speed.
Could miss rest of season
Soler could miss the rest of the season after picking a hamstring injury, coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to Alexander Smith from the Bournemouth Echo.
Analysis: Soler picked up a hamstring strain in recent weeks that could sideline him for the remainder of the season. The defender had already been operating as a depth piece off the bench, so his absence shouldn't shake up the Cherries' starting XI.
Dealing with apparent injury
Soler (undisclosed) missed Monday's 1-1 draw against Brighton due to an apparent injury, according to Alexander Smith from the Bournemouth Daily Echo.
Analysis: Soler was left out of the squad for Monday's clash against the Seagulls, as he is reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury. The defender started the FA Cup game against Newcastle United and was expected to be a bench option for Monday's clash before ultimately missing out. The Argentinian will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, although a potential absence should not impact the starting XI since Adrien Truffert remains the preferred starter at left back.
Back from U20 World Cup
Soler is heading back from the U20 World Cup after Argentina lost in the final against Morocco.
Analysis: Soler is an option again for Bournemouth after ending the U20 World Cup and losing against Morocco in the final. The defnder is expected to return in Sunday's clash against Forest and find back his bench role for the Cherries.
Will play U20 World Cup
Soler was called up by Argentina for the upcoming U20 World Cup in Chile.
Analysis: Soler will miss several games for Bournemouth due to international duty. The defender has featured only one minute in the Premier League this season for the Cherries and remained an unused substitute in the other four games, therefore his absence for the U20 World Cup won't impact the starting squad.
Season debut in Carabao Cup
Soler made his season debut and played the full 90 during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Brentford in the Carabao Cup.
Analysis: Soler has remained a depth defensive option since signing for Bournemouth, and is showing no signs of taking a larger role. He did get the start in the Carabao Cup, but he's yet to make his season debut in the Premier League. Barring a bevy of injuries, he's likely to remain an option only in Cup competitions, or off the bench.
