AFC Bournemouth has been dealt a significant blow with the news that striker Enes Ünal has torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during a training session.
This injury is expected to sideline the Turkish forward for the remainder of the season.
This setback follows the recent injury to fellow striker Evanilson, who sustained a metatarsal fracture in his foot during a match against Everton. Evanilson underwent successful surgery and is also anticipated to be unavailable for an extended period.
With both key forwards sidelined, manager Andoni Iraola faces the challenge of restructuring his attacking options. Potential replacements include players such as Ouattara, Kluivert, Sinisterra, or Semenyo. Alternatively, the club may consider entering the transfer market during the January window to bolster their offensive lineup.
These injuries come at a critical time for Bournemouth, who are currently seventh in the Premier League standings with 33 points, just three points behind the top four. The team has been in strong form, setting a club record with eight consecutive Premier League matches unbeaten.
