Bournemouth report that forward Eli Junior Kroupi has undergone successful surgery on a foot injury and will be sidelined for several months. According to multiple outlets, the player, 20, is expected to miss a substantial portion of the 2026-27 season as he recovers. One report puts the expected absence at roughly three to four months, while another indicates he could miss up to three months, suggesting the final timeline will depend on his rehabilitation progress. Kroupi was a key attacking figure for Bournemouth last season, finishing as the club’s top scorer in the Premier League with 13 goals across 33 appearances. His recovery will therefore be a significant factor for Bournemouth’s attacking options early in the new campaign. The reports describe the surgery as successful, with the focus shifting to how quickly he returns to training and match readiness.
