On Saturday, March 15, the matches of the 29th round of the English championship will take place. In one of them, Bournemouth will host Brentford at home. Ilya Zabarnyi will return to the squad of the "Cherries" for this game. He has served a three-match suspension for a direct red card in the match against Wolverhampton.
"It’s great that Zabarnyi is returning. It’s good to have this option. I think the team played well without him, but it’s always good to have such a player at your disposal. I hope he got some rest. Because usually he doesn’t rest at all. So he had a little break. Zabarnyi always shows himself well, he is always focused and knows what he needs to do.
I think it has benefited him that he had some time to rest, there hasn’t been such pressure. Now he can finish the season with new strength, 10 PL matches, another cup and the national team. He plays everywhere and in all teams. He has been training just as hard as usual during this time. Maybe he is a little more relaxed and worried less, and that’s a positive factor. We joke that in these few weeks he has scored more goals in training than he has ever scored before," said Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola.
