Bournemouth Round-Up, Wednesday 11th November: Hill and Kroupi Handed Maiden International Call-Ups as Cherries Head Off on Duty
It's an international break edition of the round-up, with plenty of Cherries representing their countries but no club action until the Premier League returns. Bournemouth go into the break on the back of an eight-game run that has included a 3-1 Europa League win away at Sparta and a 2-1 Premier League victory at Ipswich, both played in the last week (Bournemouth Echo).
Danny Rose has spoken about the togetherness within the squad during that run of games, saying it feels like a real group effort behind the recent results (Bournemouth Echo). Barry Christie also praised the togetherness and quality in the squad, saying it is good to see the players getting the recognition of international call-ups (Bournemouth Echo).
There's been a double dose of good news on the call-up front. Defender Hill has received his maiden call-up to the England set-up (AFCB.co.uk), while forward Kroupi has earned his first senior call-up to the France squad (AFCB.co.uk). Both are among a large contingent of Cherries heading away this month, with AFCB.co.uk and the Bournemouth Echo both confirming that eleven Bournemouth players in total have been named in squads for international duty in November (Bournemouth Echo) (AFCB.co.uk).
With the break running until Tuesday 17 November, there's no club football to report on for now. Bournemouth's attention will turn back to domestic and European action when the Premier League visits the Vitality Stadium for the visit of Nottingham Forest on Saturday 21 November, before a Europa League trip to face Celta Vigo on Thursday 26 November.
