CHERRIES are left sweating on the availability of Milos Kerkez for Saturday’s trip to Nottingham Forest after the defender picked up a knock in training.

The Hungarian international’s father posted an image of the left-back with his left foot in a boot on social media.

Cherries visit Forest on Saturday, December 23, before hosting Fulham at Vitality Stadium on Boxing day on Tuesday, December 26, with Kerkez a doubt for both fixtures.

Iraola commented: “Milos had a knock yesterday, but, I hope he recovers and he can play on the weekend.

“And we have two or three players that I hope (are available).

“But you never know, until you go through the process and do the checks.

“But I hope we can count with Milos and the couple of players we have that we are not sure how big of a problem (they have).”

Since joining from AZ Alkmaar this summer, Kerkez has played in all but one Premier League game for Cherries.
