Adams admits he pushed himself too hard, provides injury return timeline

The USMNT star admitted he pushed himself too hard over the summer

Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams is hopeful he’ll only miss three or four games after undergoing back surgery this month.

Adams dealt with back problems in the final months of the 2023-24 season, and those issues carried on through the Copa América with the U.S. men’s national team.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola confirmed this month that Adams had surgery immediately after the Copa.

“It is difficult to say how long [Adams will be out],” said the Cherries boss. “He won’t be fit for the start of the season. But September? October? I don’t know.”

In an appearance on The Cooligans podcast, Adams said he was hoping to be back on the earlier end of Iraola’s timeline.

“After Copa, I was still feeling a little something,” the 25-year-old said. “So I’m happy to have that dealt with. I’m going through a rehab process now. I won’t miss too much of the beginning part of the season. So hopefully four or five games, three or four maybe. And then hopefully I can just fly through the season and have some consistency.”

Bournemouth has three Premier League games before the first international window of the season in early September.

The USMNT has games against Canada on September 7 and against New Zealand three days later, with Adams likely to miss out.

The Cherries return from the FIFA break with a game against Chelsea on September 14, and will then face Liverpool on September 21.

Adams admits he pushes too hard

There were questions over whether Adams should have participated in the Copa América at all, given his back injury at the end of the Premier League season didn’t seem to have cleared up before the tournament.

Adams admitted he had some culpability in the situation, given his inability to take his foot off the gas.

“I think the biggest thing for me is, throughout the rehab process, throughout the way that I play in games, it’s only 100 percent for me,” Adams said. “Every single day in training, every single day in games. And I don’t have an ability to tune it down a notch.

“So sometimes I just need to realize I need to take a step back and just relax a little bit. I’m starting to learn that a little bit more and more. But yeah, I go 100 percent all the time. So yeah, that’s probably why I’ve been injured a little bit more recently.”

Wrexham vs. Chelsea: How to watch, TV channel, live stream

Wrexham will continue its preparations to take on League One in a friendly vs. Premier League side Chelsea

Wrexham will take on Premier League titans Chelsea as both sides continue their preseason tours of the United States.

The Red Dragons are on a dream run in recent years, securing successive promotions over the past two seasons.

Last year’s outstanding season saw Wrexham finish second in League Two, and this summer has seen the club sign multiple strong prospects from Premier League under-23 sides.

The club’s preseason has gone well enough thus far, with a 5-1 win over eighth-tier Hanley Town followed by an impressive 1-1 draw with Premier League side Bournemouth.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch Wrexham vs. Chelsea on ESPN+” link=”https://go.web.plus.espn.com/Y9KaQm”]

Chelsea, meanwhile, will be playing its first preseason match before the 2024-25 season. New manager Enzo Maresca’s lineup and tactical choices will be a major focus, with the former Leicester City coach hoping to build on the momentum the Blues had towards the end of what was an otherwise messy 2023-24 campaign.

Still, with some internationals possibly not yet ready for major minutes after Copa América and Euro 2024 duty, observers may be instead focused on the role of new signings Keirnan Dewsbury-Hall and Tosin Adarabioyo.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the game.
