He will now be hoping to take the international break to recover as he looks to break back into Scott Parker’s starting XI with the Cherries.

Brooks’ 2021/22 season so far

The Welsh winger has played nine times for Bournemouth across all competitions this season, with seven of those coming in the Championship.

After starting in all but one of the Cherriers’ opening seven games of the season, Brooks has been an unused substitute in three of the club’s last four Championship games, with his last outing coming in the 0-0 draw with Peterborough United.

Competition aplenty

Parker has the welcome problem of having plenty of solid options available on the wings.

Ryan Christie and Jaidon Anthony have been the go-to options on the wings in recent weeks, while Jamal Lowe and Morgan Rogers also provide solid options. Hopefully, the increased competition will bring the best out of Brooks and his fellow wingers as Parker looks to fire Bournemouth back to the Premier League.
