Enes Unal - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Bench option Unal (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Unal was a late call for Saturday and appears to have passed his testing to be fit, with the forward on the bench to face Liverpool. A rotational role should continue as he tries to build a spot in the team, only bagging one goal in nine appearances (zero starts) this season.

Could return against Liverpool Unal (groin) could be an option for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo. "Enes is the only one w...

Impact Unal missed Monday's draw against Brighton after suffering a groin injury early against Newcastle United in the FA Cup. The striker could be an option to return in Saturday's clash against Liverpool since the issue was revealed to be only minor. Unal will likely be assessed after the final training session to see if he can make the match squad. That said, he has mainly been a bench option this season for the Cherries and his return to the squad shouldn't impact much the starting squad.

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.

Likely out at least three weeks Unal has suffered an adductor injury and is out for the next three weeks, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per the BBC. "He felt the right abductor. It is a shame because it has...

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.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Availability uncertain for Saturday Unal (undisclosed) is uncertain for Saturday's FA Cup match against Newcastle United, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "[Evanilson and Unal] finished the game with some issues a...

Impact Unal could be in line to see more minutes in the attacking line following the departure of Antoine Semenyo. However, his presence for Saturday's clash is uncertain after picking up an undisclosed injury against the Spurs. A late call will be needed to determine whether he'll be available or not for this FA Cup clash.

Chelsea player ratings vs Bournemouth: Electric Estevao deserves better! Wonderkid runs Cherries ragged but Alejandro Garnacho among Blues' flops in disappointing draw

Scores in return Unal scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Unal was back from a long-term knee injury and found the back of the net Saturday. His return should bring a new element to the already excellent Bournemouth attack. Unal has plenty of upside if he can earn a consistent starting place, especially with so many in-form players around him.

Finds bench role Unal (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against West Ham United.

Impact Unal was nearing a return from an ACL injury and has now returned to the bench on Saturday after training in full in recent weeks with the team, giving the Cherries an additional attacking option as he works toward full match fitness. This role allows him to reintegrate gradually while still contributing when needed. He will hope to earn more minutes over the next fixtures as his condition improves.

Training in full Unal (knee) resumed team training two weeks ago and is training in full with the squad during the break, the club posted.

Impact Unal is nearing a return from an ACL injury and was spotted still training in full with the squad during the break, which is a positive sign since it indicates he has not experienced any setbacks for now. The striker will hope to reintegrate the match squad in upcoming fixtures and become a useful option in the rotation for the Cherries once he is fully fit again.

Training normally Unal (knee) trained normally with the team after playing 45 minutes with the development squad in the match against QPR on Monday, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference.

Impact Unal is likely still a few weeks away from returning to competition but has seen a very positive upgrade this week in his recovery since he was spotted training normally with the team after playing 45 minutes with the development squad in the match against QPR on Monday. The striker was only a bench option when available for the Cherries last season and will likely find that role back once fully fit.

Playing with development squad Unal (knee) is taking part in a development sqaud match against QPR on Monday, according to his club.

Impact Unal is ramping up his fitness levels and is taking a decent step in his recovery Monday, with the forward back in action for the development squad. He then appears to be earing a return and on pace for his current timeline, likely returning within the next month. It does appear he is still waiting to rejoin full training with the first time, probably around one to two weeks away from returning when that takes place.

Still out Unal (knee) remains on the sideline with an ACL injury.

Impact Unal is still just eight months removed from a torn ACL. The forward hasn't been spotted in team training and is still struggling to make the next major step in his recovery. With ACL injuries it's entirely possible Unal is still months away from a full recovery.

Viewed running on field Unal (knee) was viewed running on grass Thursday, according to his club.

Impact Unal is seeing some good news this week, with the forward seeing his first steps back on the training field after a torn ACL, able to run on grass Thursday. This is good news for the club, as he is progressing with no setbacks, seemingly on time for his return. That said, he will look to be an option soon after the start of the season, likely in September or October.

Suffers ACL injury in training Unal (knee) has suffered an ACL injury in training, according to Revelo.

Impact Unal tears his ACL again, marking the second occurrence of this injury, the first coming 595 days ago while playing for Getafe. This is a significant blow for Bournemouth, who are already dealing with the long-term injury of Evanilson, announced on Tuesday. The team loses its two main strikers for the foreseeable future.

One on target effort in rare start Unal had two shots (one on goal), two crosses (none accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Unal got a rare start on Thursday. The striker is normally brought on later in matches from the bench to add fresh attacking energy. He was lively in plays, engaging in 17 duels (winning eight), but he managed just one on target effort and had another blocked. He was subbed after 62 minutes. The Turkish international has found the net in two of his previous three appearances from the bench.

Steals point with world-class free kick Unal scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Unal took to the field after 80 minutes for Evanilson, the Turkish striker typically makes an appearance late in games from the bench. The substitution was fortuitous as he converted a world-class free kick strike into the net to snatch a point for the Cherries at the end of the match. He also made another attempt that was blocked. Unal has not been impactful this season, but seems to be finding his feet. He has now scored from bench appearances in back to back games.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First goal of season in win Unal scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Ipswich Town.

Impact Unal took to the field Sunday after 63 minutes for Adam Smith. He scored the Cherries first following a goal line scramble. The Turkish international striker has been disappointing this season, he is usually brought on late in games and has not generally looked lively. This was his first goal and he delivered an assist three games prior.

Produces assist in loss Unal assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Brighton.

Impact Unal came on after 80 minutes for Milos Kerkez to provide more attacking energy to the Cherries. He managed to produce the assist for Bournemouth's only goal and placed a shot that went off target. The Turkish international has failed to establish himself as a starter, he is usually brought on later in games but he is yet to make any material impact to the team.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Appears off bench against Bees Unal registered one shot in 14 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Brentford.

Impact Unal looks to be set for a rotational role for a second straight season, as he continues to see minimal time and serves most of his time off the bench. He has yet to notch a goal contribution this season, although he hasn't been given many opportunities, with only eight shots and one chance created across 149 minutes of play. That said, he doesn't hold much value, as he is far down the pecking order and has a lot of work to do before thinking of regular starting time.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available as susbtitute Unal (foot) was named to the match-day squad ahead of Saturday's matchup with Chelsea.

Impact Unal has yet to get onto the pitch in Premier League action for the club his season but could finally log some minutes as a substitute. Considering the forward rarely featured in the starting XI last year, he is unlikely to suddenly find himself as a regular start this season.
