Fabian Hurzeler is hopeful that the side will have a fully recovered O’Riley starting for their next match against Bournemouth. O;Riley recently returned from an ankle surgery and came back strongly to head the winning goal against Manchester City in his premier league bow. The £25m summer signing from Celtic is likely to play alongside with Carlos Baleba in the midfield, who also recovered from knee injury.
As for O’Riley, Hurzeler made a bold statement claiming that rookie was indispensable for his team. He praised O’Riley’s work in the midfield, as a goal scorer, defender, and a veteran player in the field. Hurzeler also agreed with O ‘Riley’s recent contribution to the Danish national football team and hinted that he will be ready and physically fit for the Bournemouth match.
Speaking about the next match with Bournemouth, a team that has overpowered Arsenal and Manchester City this season, Hurzeler spoke positively about Bournemouth’s style of the game under the Andoni Iraola. He praised Iraola for the tactical preparation made and the fact that the team backs skills in clean plays and excellent one on one techniques.
