Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says Enes Unal will be out for at least a few weeks after going off injured in Saturday's FA Cup defeat to Newcastle. The forward, who recently returned from an ACL injury, started at St James' Park for the first time in over a year. "He felt the right abductor," said Iraola to BBC Radio Solent.
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says Enes Unal will be out for at least a few weeks after going off injured in Saturday's FA Cup defeat to Newcastle.
The forward, who recently returned from an ACL injury, started at St James' Park for the first time in over a year.
However, his return was short lasting and he was forced off in visible pain with a muscle injury after just 29 minutes played.
"He felt the right abductor," said Iraola to BBC Radio Solent. "It is a shame because it has nearly been one year without playing and he was in the process of re-gaining his form and now he is going to be out.
"I think it is a muscle injury. Abductor is not the worst compared to a hamstring or quad, but three weeks is always the minimum. He needs to be assessed but I think he will be out for some time."
Unal's latest setback adds to Bournemouth's injury woes this season but Iraola is hopeful Ryan Christie could return for their next game at Brighton on Monday, 19 January.
