Bournemouth Drop Alex Jimenez From Fulham Clash Amid Social Media Allegations
AFC Bournemouth defender Alex Jimenez will not feature in Saturday’s Premier League clash against Fulham F.C. after the club confirmed it is investigating social media posts allegedly involving the player.
Screenshots circulating online have reportedly alleged that Jimenez exchanged messages with a 15-year-old girl, sparking widespread reaction across social media platforms. Bournemouth have not confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots or provided further details regarding the allegations.
In an official statement released on Friday, the club said:
“AFC Bournemouth are aware of posts circulating on social media involving right-back, Alex Jimenez.
The club understand the seriousness of the matter and it is currently being investigated.
As a result, Alex will not be included in the squad for tomorrow’s Premier League game against Fulham and the club will be making no further comment at this time.”
The Premier League side acted swiftly ahead of the weekend fixture, removing the defender from first-team involvement while enquiries continue behind the scenes.
The situation has generated major discussion online, with many fans awaiting clarification from both the club and the player. At this stage, no formal charges or official findings have been announced, and Bournemouth have stressed that the matter remains under investigation.
Jimenez’s absence is a fresh headache for manager Andoni Iraola as Bournemouth prepare for an important away trip to Craven Cottage in the closing stages of the Premier League season.
