Adam Smith

Smith (concussion) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against West Ham United.

Smith (concussion) will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against West Ham United, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "They are available for the game but it's true that in these two weeks, they have had to go through the process of concussion, which is quite meticulous and has definitely affected the training for both."

Smith (concussion) is in a 12-day protocol after suffering a concussion in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Aston Villa, but is in a good spot, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Echo. "Now he looks okay, he's fine, and he remembers everything. But in the moment, I think it was a very hard knock. And the doctor straight away, it was bleeding a lot. But it was not about the blood, it was about the concussion, and it was obviously the decision to make to sub him. And I hope, because now that I've seen him, I've been talking to him, I think it's going to be just this, but we'll have to wait."

Smith was forced off the field in the 10th minute of Sunday's match against Aston Villa due to a concussion.
