Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits Lloyd Kelly missed the draw at Brentford due to Friday's transfer talk.
Iraola admits Kelly saw a move to Tottenham fall through on deadline day.
He said: Yesterday was a difficult day for us and I suppose for a lot of teams, because there were some situations where players were changing teams from one hour to the other.
It's difficult to fully focus in the game on the next day.
We had the issue around the transfer at the end that happened with Jaidon (Anthony), also with Kieff (Moore) there were things going on, also with Lloyd Kelly.
We needed players really, really focused for the game today. That's the reason (he was left out)."
