Impact Traore will not be with the team for another few weeks, as he is now likely to be out until the end of the month due to his knee injury. This comes after he was unable to feature after AFCON due to injury, last playing for his club Dec. 14.

Impact Traore has yet to play for Sunderland since returning from the AFCON, and based on this time, don't expect the forward to be an option until late February in a best-case scenario. He only has one goal in the current EPL campaign, and Trai Hume has been starting at right midfield in his absence -- even though he's a player with a completely different profile.

Will miss several weeks Traore (knee) is set to miss four to six weeks due to injury, the club announced.

Impact Traore returned from international duty with Burkina Faso at the AFCON with a knee injury that has been assessed in the recent hours and that will sideline him for four to six weeks. The forward has been an undisputed starter for Sunderland prior to his trip to Morocco, therefore a change will have to be made in the frontline, with Romaine Mundle and Eliezer Mayenda as the main candidates to see increased playing time while Traore is sidelined.

Impact Traore is now nursing an injury following AFCON, leaving the midfielder questionable upon his return to the club. This is major news for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit and will now have to wait longer to return. He will likely be set for some testing in the next few days as he returns to his club, hopefully not extending his spell from the club even longer.

He's been limited to just four starts across all competitions since joining Villarreal on loan from Aston Villa in January.

Ruled out for Sunday Traore (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano, Javi Mata of Diario AS reports.

Impact Traore played 18 minutes off the bench in Villarreal's 2-1 win at Almeria over the past weekend. While there's uncertainty on how long he'll be sidelined, his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions. The winger has made just four starts (and seven appearances) since joining from Aston Villa on loan, and he's yet to score, assist or play a full 90 with El Submarino Amarillo.

Selected by Burkina Faso Traore has been called up by Burkina Faso ahead of the 2024 AFCON, according to Sky Sports.

Impact Traore will be spending the next month away from Villa, having been selected for the 2024 AFCON by Burkina Faso. Luckily for the club, his absence shouldn't affect the squad, with the midfielder only appearing twice for a total of 10 minutes. He is currently dealing with an injury, so it will be interesting to see how much the player is used by Burkina Faso.

Out against Spurs Traore (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's trip to Spurs, according to manager Unai Emery. "Bertrand is completely 100% injured and not available for Sunday."

Impact Traore wasn't injured before the break but the injury here seems to be a more serious one that he has been ruled out so resolutely. Traore has made just two appearances this season and has gone unused far more often than not so this really won't change much in the first team.
