The Turkish striker had to leave the pitch after eleven minutes in the clash with Betis, departing Villamarín on crutches.
The only sour note for Getafe at Benito Villamarín was the prospect of losing their top scorer Enes Ünal for the final two league games. The azulón squad is fighting to stay in the Primera Division, and Ünal’s injury dampens a crucial win for Bordalás and his players in Heliópolis. In the 11th minute, Miguel Latasa stepped in for him and, as the match wore on, was seen on the bench with crutches during the second half.

Enes Ünal, injured: what happened, how long he could be out, and which games he might miss for Getafe
What happened to Enes Ünal
The injury occurred six minutes into the Betis versus Getafe match at the Villamarín when Ünal contested a ball near the edge of the box. A harsh twist of the ankle left him in sharp pain and forced him off the field in tears. At this stage, the precise nature of the injury has not been officially confirmed.
Estimated recovery time
Early indications point to Ünal being unavailable for Getafe in their next two league outings: the meeting with Atlético Osasuna at the Colosseum Alfonso Pérez and the away game against Real Valladolid at José Zorrilla. The recovery is expected to take roughly two to four weeks, depending on progress and medical assessments.
Matches he could miss
With no exact medical timetable yet published, it seems likely that the forward will miss the tail end of the current campaign. The question becomes whether the lingering absence of a prolific scorer might influence the team’s tactical approach and results in the decisive fixtures that lie ahead. Ünal’s absence could push Getafe to rely more on alternative attacking options, while maintaining the responsibilities of the midfield and the defense that have carried the squad through the season.
