Tyler Adams of USMNT will be unavailable for the match against Manchester United with Bournemouth.

Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams will be unavailable for Friday’s Premier League match against Manchester United, as confirmed by manager Andoni Iraola, following a quadriceps injury sustained by the United States international.

“Tyler will not be available, as you might expect, since he hasn’t been included in the squad for the U.S.,” Iraola stated during a news conference on Thursday.

Adams, who captained the U.S. during the 2022 World Cup, was absent from Bournemouth’s match against Burnley last Saturday.

On Tuesday, U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino did not include Adams in the roster for upcoming friendlies against Belgium and Portugal, indicating that the midfielder would be out for two to three weeks due to a quadriceps injury.

Bournemouth has only mentioned that Adams “picked up an injury issue” prior to the trip to Burnley.

Adams had previously suffered a torn MCL on December 15, which was expected to keep him sidelined for two to three months. However, he managed to return to play on February 12 in a 0-0 draw against West Ham United before encountering this latest injury.

After the friendlies with Belgium and Portugal, the U.S. will finalize its World Cup preparations with matches against Senegal and Germany on May 31 and June 6, respectively.

Pochettino’s team will commence its World Cup journey against Paraguay on June 12 in Inglewood, California.
