Enes Unal - Return timeline confirmed Unal (groin) will miss two to three weeks of competition, coach Andoni Iraola confirmed in the press conference. "It's not a big injury but he felt it straight away. He will be out...

Impact Unal suffered an adductor injury shortly after returning from a long term ACL injury. The striker will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks due to this new setback, which is a blow for both him and the Cherries, as he had been returning well to full fitness and scored against West Ham United. The Turkish forward will likely see a decent role in the second half of the season given the injuries and the recent departures of Antoine Semenyo.

David Brooks - Dealing with twisted ankle Brooks is a doubt for Monday's clash against Brighton due to a twisted ankle he suffered against Newcastle United in the FA Cup, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "...

Impact Brooks will be assessed after the final training session ahead of Monday's clash against the Seagulls since he ended the FA Cup loss against Newcastle United with a twisted ankle. Brooks has been a regular starter for the Cherries recently, starting four of his last six appearances across all competitions, which will force a change in the starting squad if he had to miss the game, with Alex Jimenez as an option to play on the right wing like he previously done during the campaign.

Impact Christie has improved this week in training and is feeling better ahead of Monday's clash against the Seagulls. The midfielder will be assessed after the final training session as he could return for that game after missing the last four clashes across all competitions due to a knee injury. Christie has been only a bench option since the beginning of the season and will resume that role once available.

Impact Unal is facing a rough series of events this week, as he returns from a nearly year-long absence due to an ACL injury just over a month ago, only to hit the sidelines for at least three weeks due to an adductor injury. Unfortunately for the forward, this comes just after his first start, needing to work back up his fitness levels once again. He will likely eye a return near the end of the month, with a return potentially coming in February if all goes to plan.

Enes Unal - Forced off Saturday Unal was forced off the field in the 28th minute of Saturday's match against Newcastle due to an apparent injury.

Impact Unal would start Saturday but wouldn't last long into the match, forced off the field just 28 minutes in. This comes after he was already a late call for the match appearing to have returned too early from the issues he was suffering. He will now await evaluation and hope to avoid a major injury, although he is yet to start in a league match this season, so this is a minor loss.

Enes Unal - Starts in frontline Unal (undisclosed) makes the starting XI for Saturday's Carabao Cup match against Newcastle, confirming he is fully fit for Bournemouth.

Impact Unal was a doubt ahead of Saturday's Carabao Cup match against Newcastle but ultimately passed the late fitness call since he is in the starting squad to face the Magpies. This is great news for the Cherries since it allows Evanilson to get some rest on the bench and it could give Unal some confidence moving forward as he could get a larger role with the recent departure of Antoine Semenyo for Manchester City.

Impact Unal could be in line to see more minutes in the attacking line following the departure of Antoine Semenyo.

Impact The manager didn't rule out the Brazilian striker, but he didn't commit to his availability, either. The forward has been on a roll of late with back-to-back goals and three out of his last five EPL appearances, so not having him to lead the attacking line would be a huge blow, especially after the departure of Antoine Semenyo, who signed with Manchester City.
