Team news: Unal may not feature against Forest

AFC Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola isn’t sure if new signing Enes Ünal will be able to feature against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

The Turkish international joined the Cherries on loan from Getafe in a deal which contains the obligation to make the move permanent if certain conditions are met.

The prolific La Liga striker is still in Spain and is awaiting news on a VISA in order to come into the country.

Elsewhere, the boss is also hopeful that Dango Ouattara will be available after returning to the country after Burkina Faso’s exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Iraola said: “Enes is not with us here.

“He has to go through VISA process which has already started in Spain, but sometimes it takes some hours, some days, but he isn’t here and waiting to go through this process.

“Whenever it finishes, he’ll fly straight away but if he’s not here for tomorrow’s training it will be difficult for him to be involved.

“We will have the same squad as the West Ham game, Dango Ouattara is the only one who may recover because he will be here, but the rest will be the same.”
