Bournemouth manager Iraola clarifies decision to send Faivre to Brest

Iraola acknowledged that the midfielder required more playing time.

He told the Daily Echo: "It was a matter of his expectations. For him, especially last season, he didn’t play a lot.

“Also the season before and he wants to be more of a protagonist and have more minutes.

“I was happy with his performances in pre-season, but I cannot guarantee (minutes).

“He has very strong competition, because we have very good players, especially up front.

“I think it is a very good chance also for him, personally.”
