ROMAIN Faivre has joined Cherries’ list of absentees, due to illness.

The Frenchman, who has made two substitute appearances since returning from a loan spell at FC Lorient, is set to miss tomorrow’s trip to St James’ Park (3pm).

Cherries are still without injured quartet Tyler Adams (hamstring), Ryan Fredericks (calf), Max Aarons (hamstring) and James Hill (ankle), while Philip Billing is suspended.

Asked for a team news update, head coach Andoni Iraola said: “We are in quite a good spot injury wise.

“We have the right-back situation and Tyler Adams.

“Then the only player we are going to lose is Romain Faivre, because he is ill.

“He came here today with a temperature and I think it is risky that he travels.

“He is the only one that probably we don’t expect will be able to be involved.”
