ENES Unal is set to feature more for the development squad over the international break as he continues his return from a serious injury.

The striker tore his ACL in January and returned to [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/?ref=au) training at the end of October, before coming off the bench in the dying moments of the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Unal is yet to reach the levels where he is in contention to start for Bournemouth, Andoni Iraola confirmed, but he is an option.

“Right now, Enes he's not ready to start a game,” Iraola told the Daily Echo.

“He could help us, but definitely less minutes because he comes from very long time out. And the plan is also between us, and even in the break, probably he will play with the development squad, to add more minutes and still do this last part of the process, let's say.”
