Bournemouth Right-Back Álex Jiménez Suspended as Club Probes Leaked Chats with 15-Year-Old
Bournemouth have dropped 21-year-old Álex Jiménez from their squad ahead of the Premier League match against Fulham. The club announced an immediate investigation after screenshots of Instagram chats began circulating online. In the messages, the full-back appears to exchange comments with a teenager claiming to be 15. Jiménez reportedly acknowledges her age and later describes the conversation as a mistake. In an official statement, the club confirmed the defender will not feature against Fulham and said no further comment would be made while the inquiry continues. Jiménez rose through Real Madrid’s academy before stints at AC Milan and Bournemouth. He had played over 30 matches this season and was a key part of the team’s push for Europe. The probe and its timing on his birthday have intensified the shock.
