Marco Rose weighs rotation options for AFC Bournemouth winger Rayan

AFC Bournemouth manager Marco Rose is considering tactical adjustments for forward Rayan following a difficult start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign. The 20-year-old Brazilian has struggled to replicate his previous form across the first three matches of the season despite showing flashes of ability, including his contribution to Marcus Tavernier’s goal in a recent 2-2 draw with Newcastle. Rose may look to rotate his attacking options as the team faces a schedule of over 50 matches in all competitions. Potential replacements for the starting lineup include David Brooks and Ben Gannon-Doak, with Gannon-Doak viewed as a strong fit for the current tactical system. One proposed strategy involves using Rayan as an impact substitute against fatigued defenders, a role that could allow him to capitalize on his individual skill without the demands of playing a full 90 minutes.
