Squad

A fracture rules Santiago Apa out for 116 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bournemouth will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Luciano Gondou runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Malone Grailard hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bournemouth can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Will McPartland gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Will McPartland has just signed for Bournemouth, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Marcus Tavernier in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bournemouth this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Adrien Truffert falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Bournemouth get the job done against Birmingham

A 3‑1 win over Birmingham, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Cundo at his very best

Marked 8.43. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bournemouth.

Player ratings

One of those days for Eli Junior Kroupi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Edward King puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wigan Athletic, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Luke Robinson is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wigan Athletic is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Leo Graham has been here 9 seasons

104 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

James Carragher signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” James Carragher commits to Wigan Athletic for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Wigan Athletic

Max Cleworth was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Wigan Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fraser Murray is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
