The good news, so far, for Bournemouth is that star striker Dominic Solanke remains with the club and is part of the squad that will face Wrexham.

It has been reported the 26-year-old former Liverpool forward has a £65m release clause in his contract that can only be activated by certain clubs.

Cherries boss Andoni Iraola does not want to lose Solanke, who scored an impressive 21 goals last season, including 19 in the Premier League to finish fourth in the Golden Boot standings.

However, the Spaniard is adopting a philosophical approach.

"Dom is happy," he said. "He has come back in very good shape, is training very well and the relationship he has with his team-mates is very good.

"But the market is open. You cannot say he is going to stay or that he is going to leave because we don't know.

"In the end, it is something you cannot control."
