Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has said Tyler Adams is ready to ramp up his minutes after a successful return with the U.S. men’s national team.
After a hamstring injury kept him out for the better part of a year, Adams made his Bournemouth return right before the international break, before playing his first USMNT minutes since the 2022 World Cup.
Adams played in both of the USMNT’s Nations League matches, going 40 minutes in the semifinal against Jamaica before playing the first half and scoring a sensational goal in the final against Mexico.
The 25-year-old seems to have returned to England no worse for the wear, as Iraola said he is ready to continue building up his minutes as the Premier League season enters its final stretch.
“I think he’s improving a lot,” Iraola said at a press conference. “He’s in the process of adding minutes. He played 45 minutes in two different games [during the international break] and he finished with good feelings. I think he’s available to play the same amount or even more minutes.”
Bournemouth hosts Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, as Adams aims to start his first club game since March 2023.
