The Frenchman was absent from the matchday squad against Chelsea in midweek with a sore back but he has returned for the Cherries clash.

Varane was working with the team earlier today and he should be involved at least on the bench when they host the Cherries.

The World Cup winner has gone out-of-favour under manager Erik ten Hag in recent months with Harry Maguire picked over him.

Ten Hag does not believe either player is good in the left centre-back role and he has decided to stick with Maguire at right centre-back.

The Englishman has proved his worth in recent matches and Varane may have to settle for a bench role against the Cherries tomorrow.

Either Jonny Evans or Luke Shaw could start in the left centre-back position with Victor Lindelof ruled out with an injury.
