Saturday, May 9, 2026 - AFC Bournemouth defender Alex Jiménez is under investigation over claims he sent inappropriate posts to a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
The 21-year-old allegedly sent a string of messages to the
pupil.
But the club confirmed has launched a probe into Jiménez,
who signed a five-and-half-year deal with The Cherries in February, and has
dropped him from their crunch Premier League match with Fulham on Saturday.
The statement said: 'AFC Bournemouth are aware of posts
circulating on social media involving right-back, Alex Jimenez.
'The club understands the seriousness of the matter, and it
is currently being investigated.
'As a result, Alex will not be included in the squad for
tomorrow's Premier League game against Fulham and the club will be making no
further comment at this time.'
The Spain Under-21 international started his career at Real
Madrid Castilla, the Spanish giants' reserve team, before moving to Milan.
He joined the Premier League club on an initial one-year
loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.
