ANDONI Iraola is unsure on the severity of the hamstring injury which forced Lloyd Kelly off against Sheffield United.

Kelly was withdrawn at half-time at Bramall Lane, with Cherries 2-0 ahead.

Asked why the 25-year-old was substituted, Iraola told the Daily Echo: “His hamstring felt very tight.

“I cannot tell you if it is just precaution, or if it is just something small there.

“We have to assess him tomorrow. We hope it is not an injury, but I cannot tell you now.”

Cherries went on to clinch a 3-1 victory, Marcus Tavernier bagging a brace and Justin Kluivert also on target. Oli McBurnie pulled a goal back late on.

The win saw Cherries stay 16th in the Premier League, but extend the gap between themselves and the relegation zone.
