It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. MARCO Rose explained that it was a tough decision to leave Juanlu Sanchez and Ben Gannon-Doak out of the Cherries’ Europa League squad, and he told them in personal conversations that they had missed out. Juanlu and Gannon-Doak were two of the absentees, with Fraser Forster, Julian Araujo, Max Aarons, Veljko Milosavljevic and Daniel Jebbison also left out. Rose could only pick 19 first team players due to a lack of ‘club trained’ players in the squad, which left him with some difficult choices. Rotation - but how much?

We can't bring one player because the club is so young, it has not had a huge academy for many years. “We can't send any player on the B-list. So we could call just 19 players and that's why I had to make decisions.
