HAMED JUNIOR TRAORE NEWS

Going back to Bournemouth Traore wasn't redeemed by Napoli following a temporary spell.

Impact Traore had a nice month-long stretch but fell out of favor in the final few weeks, partially due to lingering foot issues. He appeared 11 times (six starts) with Napoli, tallying 10 goals (three assists), 11 key passes and eight crosses (one accurate). He might be on the move again since he hadn't played much with Bournemouth until January either.

Unused in Verona tilt Traore (malaria/conditioning) didn't play in Sunday's 2-1 win over Verona.

Impact Traore was available for the first time in months, but he didn't have much autonomy, and the game didn't break right for him to debut. He'll compete with Cyril Ngonge and Jesper Lindstrom for backup minutes from here on out.

Fit for Verona fixture Traore (illness) "has ramped up his activity and has about 20 minutes in him," coach Walter Mazzarri relayed.

Impact Traore is ready to return to the pitch after dealing with malaria and working on his conditioning since transferring to Napoli. He projects to be a backup in multiple roles. He has played just thrice this campaign, tallying three shots (two on target), one key pass, and three inaccurate crosses.

Absent versus Lazio Traore (illness) won't be an option against Lazio on Sunday as he's following a conditioning protocol that will allow him to be ready next week, Napoli announced.

Impact Traore missed extended time due to malaria before the transfer and needs to get in better shape to be able to play, but he shouldn't be out for much longer if everything goes well.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Napoli Traore (illness) has officially transferred from Bournemouth to Napoli on an initial loan with an option to make the transfer permanent.

Impact Traore heads back to Serie A after a year where he never hit his stride in the Premier League and dealt with a few physical problems. He has been cleared after contracting malaria and will be able to work on his conditioning before the next Serie A game on Jan. 28. He's Elijf Elmas on the squad and will start off as a deputy in multiple roles.

Set for spell on sidelines Traore (illness) will be out for an extended period, having contracted Malaria, leading to a spell in the hospital, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "The past few weeks have bee...

Impact Traore will be spending the next few weeks on the sidelines as he attempts to recover from Malaria, leaving him out for the AFCON and most likely until the start of February. The attacker may miss even more time with the issue based on his rehabilitation, as the club will not want to rush the player back into play after such a serious illness. Luckily for the team, he has only played in three matches all season, totaling 44 minutes during those appearances, so his absence shouldn't affect too much within the starting XI.

Still out with illness Traore (illness) is not in the squad to face Manchester United on Saturday.

Impact Traore picked up an illness before the midweek match against Crystal Palace, and he's not fit enough to return to action to take on The Red Devils. However, his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. After all, Traore hasn't played since Sep. 24 and only has racked up three appearances off the bench in 2023/24.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Traore was not an option against Crystal Palace on Wednesday due to an illness he picked up midweek, according to Tom Crocker of the Bournemouth Echo.

Impact Traore is in question for Saturday's match against Manchester United after picking up an illness before the midweek match against Crystal Palace. If he doesn't play Saturday, it shouldn't affect too much within the squad, as he has not played in the club's past nine matches, only registering 44 minutes across three appearances this season.

Plays 45 minutes in friendly Traore (undisclosed) started against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Sunday, logging 45 minutes.

Impact Traore saw action in just seven matches (five starts) after completing a move to Bournemouth during the January transfer window. With his injury woes hopefully behind him, the midfielder will look to expand his role this season, which could include a portion of corner-taking responsibilities after registering 18 corners in those seven contests last season.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to seven matches with club Traore (undisclosed) made just seven appearances for Bournemouth this season.

Impact Traore -- who secured a permanent transfer to the Cherries following his loan stay -- was only able to log seven matches (five starts) due to his undisclosed injury. When he was fit, the midfielder registered 41 crosses (12 accurate), 18 corners and 14 changes created. Looking ahead to next season, Traore should feature prominently in the starting XI where he figures to offer top-end fantasy value given his role on freekicks and corners.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season finale Traore (undisclosed) is not in Bournemouth's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Everton.

Impact Traore had a quiet loan stint with Bournemouth, with zero direct goal involvements across seven Premier League appearances (five starts) in attacking midfield, and he's been out since early April with an injury. The 23-year-old will be returning on a permanent basis when his initial loan from Sassuolo expires in the summer.

Impact Traore has been out of action for eight straight contests due to his undisclosed issue but could still be eligible to return for the season finale versus the Toffees. Given his extended layoff, Traore seems unlikely to break back into the starting XI and figures to be a bench option more likely than not.

Completes Bournemouth move Traore has completed a transfer to Bournemouth from Sassuolo and will sign on a deal until 2028.

Impact Traore hasn't played in more than a month because of injury, but Bournemouth clearly liked what they saw from him in limited action, making just seven appearances for the club. Still at 23 years old, he'd been a regular at Sassuolo for three seasons and didn't battle too many injuries. He hopes to get in a full pre-season with the Cherries and grow into a role, though consistent starting minutes may be hard to come by, especially if any new players are added over the summer.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still remains out Traore (undisclosed) is in doubt of missing the rest of the season, "Hopefully we see Hamed back on the pitch this season" said manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact There was not much of an update for Traore but that he would miss his sixth match in a row with an undisclosed injury. He is in jeopardy of missing the rest of the season If he does not recover in time, with just four games left to play in the campaign. The midfielder has started in five of the last seven contests, recording 41 crosses (12 accurate) and 17 tackles (11 won in that span).

Since joining the team from Serie A side Sassuolo, he has started in five of the seven games played, totaling 41 crosses (12 accurate) and 17 tackles (11 won) in that span. Ryan Christie and Philip Billing will continue to line up at offensive midfield during his absence.

Sidelined again Saturday Traore (undisclosed) will be unavailable versus Tottenham on Saturday. Manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Hamed Traore will miss out, he's not quite ready sadly."

Impact Traore will be unavailable for the fourth time in the club's last seven contests. In his three outings, the attacking midfielder made one start and registered three shots (zero on target), 13 crosses (two accurate) and seven corners. When fit, Traore should offer top-end fantasy value given his role on corners and freekicks.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Traore has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Leicester, Tom Crocker reports.

Impact It's unclear what kind of issue affects Traore, but the speedy midfielder won't be in the squad for the contest against the Foxes. His next chance to feature will come at Tottenham on April 15.

Fires three shots Traore generated three shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Brighton.
