Bournemouth Excludes Alex Jimenez Amid Social Media Probe

AFC Bournemouth has announced that defender Alex Jimenez will not be included in the squad for the Premier League match against Fulham on Saturday due to an ongoing investigation concerning a social media post involving the 21-year-old Spanish right back. The club issued an official statement on Friday, acknowledging the seriousness of the matter and confirming that Jimenez's absence is a result of this investigation.

Jimenez joined Bournemouth from AC Milan on loan, which later became a permanent move in February, signing a long-term contract that runs until 2031. Since joining the club, he has made 32 appearances and scored once, notably contributing to a 3-2 victory against Liverpool in the Premier League.

Bournemouth has stated that they will not provide further comments until the investigation concludes.
