AFC Bournemouth have dropped Alex Jiménez from their matchday squad amid an ongoing internal investigation into serious allegations involving the player.
According to reports that emerged on Friday, screenshots circulating on social media appear to show alleged inappropriate messages sent by the 21-year-old Spanish right-back to an individual claiming to be under the age of 16. The authenticity of the materials has not been independently verified.
In response, Bournemouth acknowledged the seriousness of the situation in an official statement and confirmed that Jiménez will not be involved in their upcoming Fulham F.C. fixture in the Premier League while the matter is reviewed.
Jiménez, who recently turned 21, has not made any public comment regarding the allegations. The club says it is treating the situation with caution as the investigation continues.
