BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — Bournemouth has dropped Álex Jiménez from its squad for the Premier League game against Fulham on Saturday while the club investigates social-media posts involving the Spanish right back.
Bournemouth said in a statement on Friday it was “aware of posts circulating on social media."
“The club understand the seriousness of the matter,” it said, “and it is currently being investigated.”
Jiménez, who turned 21 on Friday, came through Real Madrid's academy. He completed his permanent move from AC Milan in February after initially joining on loan.
He has a contract until 2031.

BERLIN (AP) — Police in Germany entered a bank in a small German town Friday and rescued two people from a locked room, hours after officers were called to respond to a hostage situation.
Regional police said they were alerted to the situation at the Volksbank branch in Sinzig, a town of about 17,000 people in the Rhine valley near Koblenz, at about 9 a.m. local time. They said they believed there were “several perpetrators and hostages” in the bank and the driver of an armored van was a hostage.
Shortly before 3 p.m., police said special forces entered the bank and freed two people unhurt from a locked room. Police said they found no hostage-takers.
They said that the perpetrator or perpetrators appeared to have left immediately after locking the two people into the vault, but it wasn't clear how that happened.
