ANDONI Iraola believes injury issues suffered by Marcos Senesi and Neto are not serious, with the start of the Premier League season looming.

Goalkeeper and captain Neto missed Saturday’s final warm-up match against Girona due to a back issue, with Mark Travers and Will Dennis each getting some game-time between the sticks.

Senesi started the 3-2 win, but came off during the first half following a clash of heads with former Southampton man Oriol Romeu.

Cherries begin their league season away at Nottingham Forest on August 17.

Discussing Neto’s absence, Iraola told the Daily Echo: “(On Saturday) he woke up with back problems.

“If not (Sunday), then I expect the next day he will be fine.

“I think like we’ve done all of pre-season, in the friendlies we haven’t risked anyone.

“I think (on Saturday) we recovered almost all the players.

“I’m happy because I think we are going to arrive with, apart from the three players that had surgeries (Enes Unal, Tyler Adams and David Brooks), the rest are going to be ready for the league.”

Asked about Senesi’s knock, Iraola added: “I don’t think it’s serious.

“It’s ugly. I think he has a big cut.

“They put in stitches and for sure he will have a scar, probably forever.

“But it was not a concussion.

“He was feeling perfect. If it was a league game, probably he would have continued.

“But the same way as we were talking about Neto, it didn’t make any sense to make him play when he was bleeding and uncomfortable.

“We decided to change him.”
