Alex Paulsen, a 23-year-old New Zealand international goalkeeper who joined Lechia Gdańsk on loan from AFC Bournemouth during the summer transfer window, has travelled to England because of a knee injury he had been playing with for some time. Lechia's coach, John Carver, confirmed that after Paulsen had a scan, the results were sent to his parent club. Bournemouth then booked a flight for the player to return to England on a Thursday evening. According to statements from Carver cited by Lechia.net, the injury may not be too serious, and it is possible Paulsen could return to Lechia after the international break. Before his injury, Paulsen made 8 appearances in the Ekstraklasa. His loan is set to run until June 30, 2026, his contract with Bournemouth expires on June 30, 2028, and his current market value is €750k, according to Transfermarkt.
