Hopefully. In football anything is possible, but it is difficult.” The words of Ángel Torres, president of Getafe, already made it clear in mid-December that the possible return of the forward to the azulón team, with problems in front of goal at the beginning of the season, was complicated. If it was difficult before, now even more so.
The injury to Evanilson, AFC Bournemouth forward, closes the exit door for Ünal, to whom Iraola will now have to give more prominence in the English team. The Turk has so far participated in 17 games in the Premier League, but has only played 332 minutes.
From transfer to purchase
Ünal went on loan last January to Bournemouth and at the end of the season the English team executed the purchase option they had and paid around 18 million euros to Getafe. For the Azulón team, the striker scored 36 goals in 109 games.
Evanilson, as reported by the club, fractured his metatarsal last Saturday in the match against Everton and underwent surgery today. The forward will be out for several months, an important absence for Bournemouth, since he was going through a good moment of form. A setback that prevents Ünal’s possible return to Getafe.
