Bournemouth Defender Under Investigation

AFC Bournemouth is currently investigating concerning posts that have surfaced on social media, allegedly linked to their right-back, Alex Jimenez. The club issued a statement on Friday confirming the seriousness of the matter. As a result, Jimenez, a 21-year-old Spanish youth international, will not be included in the squad for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Fulham at Craven Cottage. This investigation has led to his immediate exclusion from team activities.

Jimenez made the move to Bournemouth from Milan in the summer of 2025, initially on loan before the transfer was made permanent. He has been a consistent presence for Andoni Iraola's side this season, accumulating 33 appearances across all competitions. The club has stated it will make no further comment while the investigation proceeds.
