Enes Unal - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Unal (foot) has been in training and could return for Saturday's clash with Chelsea, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Enes has been training this week with us and he has a chan...

Impact Unal suffered the foot injury with his national team and has struggled to get back on the pitch for the club. The striker is now fit, and could compete for minutes during the first match out of the break. Evanilson will likely retain the starting job even with Unal fit once more.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back on grass Unal (foot) has begun to train on grass again, according to his club.

Impact Unal is expected to return following the September international break and looks to be on track for that goal after returning to grass training Wednesday. This is solid news for the club, as he is a role payer they would like to have as an option for depth. He is likely to serve off the bench once fit, only starting in two of his 16 appearances with the club last campaign.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning after break Unal (foot) is targeting a return after the international break, manager Andoni Iraola told reporters.

Impact Unal suffered the toe injury during the pre-season, and while he's been training on grass, he's not ready to return. The striker will be hoping to return straight away after the international break. His first chance to do so will be a Sept. 14 clash with Chelsea.

Starts to run Unal (foot) has started to run following his surgery, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Tom Crocker of the Daily Echo. "Enes has started running. Now everything is clear, eve...

Impact Unal has finally started to progress after receiving surgery on his toe, as the forward was back running on the training pitch this week. This is positive news, although he is still set to miss a couple more weeks, set to miss the season opener, and will likely not return until mid-September. This will be something to monitor as he is viewed as their top option at forward following Dominic Solanke's exit from the club.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing toe issue Unal has undergone an operation on his foot and is set to miss the start of the season, according to Simon Stone of the BBC.

Impact Unal will not be set for the beginning of the new season, as he is recovering from a foot issue after going down in training with Turkey ahead of Euro 2024. This will be a tough loss for the club, as despite not being a regular starter, he still appears quite consistently off the bench, appearing 16 times last campaign. That said, they will hope for a quick recovery, with a return likely coming around late August to early September.

JULY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes Bournemouth move permanent Unal has completed a transfer to Bournemouth from Getafe, signing a four-year contract.

Impact Unal only played 320 minutes while on loan the second half of the season, but it was enough to get this contract and remain in the Premier League. He seems more like a possible replacement for Dominic Solanke if he moves elsewhere in the next year. If Solanke doesn't move, it'll be hard for Unal to get consistent starts, seen in the two starts from 16 appearances this past season.

MAY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in loss to Chelsea Unal generated four shots (one on goal), one cross (not accurate) and created two chances in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea. He was injured and subbed out in the 70th minute.

Impact Unal was given a rare start Sunday. He is still trying to find his feet with the Cherries but he had his fingerprints on their strike, an own goal deflection that he fired at goal. He was subbed after 70 minutes through an injury. The Turk has produced two assists and two goals from 16 appearances (two starts) and is currently an understudy to key striker, Dominic Solanke. He is expected to be part of the Turkish national team in the Euros.

MAY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goal and assist in victory Unal placed four shots, scoring with one of them. He also produced an assist and created a chance in Sunday's 3-0 win over Brighton.

Impact Unal had an outstanding match Sunday. He placed the cross that allowed Marcos Senesi to post the Cherries opening goal, and he scored himself by meeting a Dango Ouattara cross with an assertive header. He was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet again with striking efforts that went just wide of goal. It was the Turkish international's first start, he has usually been brought on later in games to add firepower to Bournemouth's attack.
