Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed that USMNT captain Tyler Adams missed their recent match due to a newly acquired injury.
Key Points:
- New Injury: Adams woke up dealing with back spasms over the past week, leading to his exclusion from the matchday squad against Luton. Despite his recent return to action, Adams was unavailable for the crucial fixture against the relegation-threatened Hatters.
- Absence Confirmed: Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola confirmed Adams’ absence, stating that the midfielder’s back spasms prevented him from featuring in the match. While the injury is unrelated to his previous hamstring issue, it has sidelined him for the second consecutive match.
- Season Disruptions: Adams has faced significant disruptions to his season due to injuries, missing the majority of the campaign for both club and country. Despite recently making a stellar return to action against Everton, where he earned Man of the Match honors, Adams’ back spasms have once again sidelined him, raising concerns about his availability for the remainder of the season.
- Uncertain Return: With just seven matches left in the Premier League season, the duration of Adams’ absence remains uncertain. As Bournemouth prepares to face Manchester United in their upcoming fixture, the club will be hoping for a swift recovery for their influential midfielder.
