Tyler Adams won’t make his Bournemouth debut this weekend, but he could be back as early as next week.
That is according to Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, who provided a positive update on the U.S. national team captain as he nears a return from a long-term hamstring injury.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against Brighton, Iraola said the 24-year-old is back in partial training.
“I think the only one that is not [recovered] so far is Tyler, who will not be [ready] for the Brighton game, but he has started this week at least to train partially with the group,” Iraola said.
“So probably we can have a chance of having him next week or two weeks, something like this. Tyler is really close because once you start training partially with the group, it’s a matter of sensations, and if you are physically good enough.
“He has a very good physical base. So I think it will take not a long time to see Tyler with the team.”
Adams has not played since March after undergoing hamstring surgery. During his time off the pitch, the 24-year-old still completed a move from Leeds to Bournemouth, keeping him in the Premier League after the Whites were relegated last season.
Bournemouth will face Stoke on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup before a league match against Arsenal next Saturday.
