USMNT goalkeeper Turner left off Nottingham Forest squad for Premier League opener

The USMNT starter appears to be third-string at his club

Matt Turner appears to have been demoted at Nottingham Forest — again.

The U.S. men’s national team goalkeeper was not in Forest’s matchday squad for its Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Saturday, indicating he may have dropped to third on the depth chart.

Turner joined Forest last summer in a £10 million move from Arsenal. After a promising start to his time at the City Ground, the 30-year-old would eventually lose his starting position due to a series of high-profile errors.

Forest signed Matz Sels from Strasbourg in February, relegating Turner to a spot on the bench for the remainder of the Premier League season.

In the summer, Forest signed goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Corinthians. The Brazilian was on the bench on Saturday, with Sels in goal to kick off the 2024-25 season.

With Turner’s chances of playing time now seemingly gone at Forest, the focus will turn to whether he can secure a move away before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

CBS Sports has reported that Turner has been subject to interest from Bundesliga and La Liga clubs this summer.

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.”

Another injury blow for Adams: USMNT star out ‘months’ after back surgery

The hits just keep coming for Adams and the USMNT

The bad news just keeps coming for the U.S. men’s national team.

Tyler Adams will miss the start of the Premier League season, as Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said that the USMNT midfielder underwent back surgery.

A report from the BBC quoted Iraola as saying that Adams will be “out for some time.”

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

According to Iraola, Adams played through back pain at the 2024 Copa América. During the final few weeks of the 2023-24 season, the New York native was barely available for Bournemouth with a back issue.

“He wanted to play Copa América because it was very important for him, but he had restrictions and was still in pain,” explained Iraola. “Two days after they were knocked out, he had surgery.”

Adams played only 45 minutes in the first two USMNT matches at Copa América, much to his chagrin. He played the full 90 minutes as the U.S. lost to Uruguay on July 2, ending the team’s run in the tournament in the group stage.

Latest injury blow for Adams

The potential for Adams spending months on the sideline is sadly familiar territory for the 25-year-old.

Between back and hamstring injuries, Adams appeared just five times for Bournemouth across all competitions in 2023-24, playing 138 minutes.

Adams had joined the Cherries last summer despite still being in the midst of recovering from a separate hamstring problem. His injury woes go back to March 2023, and have involved two surgeries on his hamstring before this latest procedure on his back.

Adams left out once again as Bournemouth wraps Premier League season

It’s a downer ending for Adams in what was largely a lost first season with the Cherries

Tyler Adams didn’t get the end to the season he was likely hoping for.

The Bournemouth and U.S. men’s national team midfielder was held out of his side’s final match of the season on Sunday.

Following the Cherries’ 2-1 loss at Chelsea, manager Andoni Iraola told reporters that Adams did not play for precautionary reasons.

Adams ended a month-long spell on the sidelines with a 10-minute cameo in Bournemouth’s penultimate game of the season on May 11, but was not in uniform as the Cherries concluded the 2023-24 campaign.

The news is one more bit of frustration for Adams in what was essentially a lost season. Between recovery from a hamstring injury sustained 14 months ago with Leeds, a second surgical procedure on that issue, and back spasms, the USMNT midfielder played just 138 minutes for Bournemouth this season.

2023-24 largely a lost season for Adams

Adams was only in uniform six times, and his minutes came from just four appearances spread across the season. His comeback from his initial injury came in September, but after just one 20-minute appearance the 25-year-old suffered a setback, eventually undergoing surgery again.

The New York native would miss 21 more matches recovering from that procedure before being an unused substitute in Bournemouth’s 2-2 draw with Sheffield United on March 9. Adams finally made his Premier League debut for the Cherries four days later in a win over Luton Town, and had a standout showing in his one and only start (a 2-1 victory over Everton on March 30).

Between that and his unreal goal for the USMNT in the Concacaf Nations League final, it seemed like Adams was finally, truly back.

However, after being an unused substitute against Crystal Palace in early April, Adams ended up with back spasms that proved persistent. Iraola ended up having to leave Adams out of seven of the Cherries’ final eight matches of the season as a result.

With the Copa América looming, the USMNT will be hoping that Adams — who is paramount for Gregg Berhalter — will benefit from Bournemouth’s caution. The U.S. will play friendlies against Colombia and Brazil early next month as part of its preparations for its biggest test since the 2022 World Cup.

However, it’s far from ideal that the best scenario for Adams this summer is having to play games of enormous importance after losing nearly an entire season in this manner.

USMNT midfielder Adams will return to Bournemouth squad following back injury

The USMNT midfielder has missed seven games with a back injury

After missing seven straight games with a back injury, Tyler Adams is finally set to return for Bournemouth.

The U.S. men’s national team midfielder will be part of the Cherries squad for Saturday’s game against Brentford, manager Andoni Iraola said at his pre-match press conference.

“Lloyd Kelly will play tomorrow. He has been involved in training normally so we have no concerns about this,” Iraola said on Friday.

“So, we’ve recovered Lloyd, Tyler Adams and Marcus Tavernier will also be part of the squad.”

Adams first suffered back spasms in early April, an injury that popped up after he had only just returned from two separate hamstring surgeries.

The 25-year-old missed the better part of a year after undergoing hamstring surgery in March 2023, then being forced to have a second operation in October after suffering a setback following his Bournemouth debut.

Between the injuries, Adams has played just three matches for Bournemouth in his first season with the club.

After Saturday’s game, the Cheries will have just one match remaining in the campaign: a trip to Chelsea on May 19.

Even if Adams isn’t able to help his club side much in the season’s home stretch, his return to fitness is huge for his chances of making the USMNT roster for the Copa América.

Head coach Gregg Berhalter has until June 12 to send in his final roster for the tournament, which kicks off later in the month.

Tyler Adams remains sidelined for Bournemouth clash with Arsenal

Adams is running out of time to make another Premier League appearance this season

Tyler Adams remains out for Bournemouth, with the U.S. men’s national team midfielder rapidly running out of time to play a further part in this Premier League campaign.

At a pre-game press conference, Cherries manager Andoni Iraola ruled Adams out for Saturday’s clash with Arsenal.

Adams will have missed seven straight games with back spasms that first bubbled up in early April. The new injury has derailed a promising return from a hamstring issue that effectively cost Adams most of 2023.

After Adams’ second game out, a 2-1 loss to Luton Town, Iraola had expressed some hopes that the back issue would be resolved quickly. More recently, the Bournemouth boss referred to the issue as “not a bad injury” before adding that “we have to be careful with these decisions,” indicating that Adams may not return until he’s completely healed.

The problem? There’s not much time left for that to happen. With the New York native ruled out of the Arsenal clash, there are just two games remaining this season in which he could return. Bournemouth’s final two fixtures are May 11’s home match against Brentford, and a season-ending trip to face Chelsea on May 19.

The Cherries sit 10th in the table, and have little left to play for this season. The club has been safe from relegation worries for some time, and has only the faintest mathematical chance of claiming a Europa Conference League playoff round berth (essentially needing to win three straight while getting significant help from elsewhere in the league).

However, Adams’ performances in his brief spell back on the pitch will likely make Bournemouth fans wonder where the club would be had he been healthy all season. The USMNT No. 6 was at his best in a 2-1 win over Everton in March, shortly after scoring a spectacular long-range goal against Mexico on international duty.

Adams will miss fifth straight Bournemouth match with back injury

It’s becoming an increasingly lost season for the USMNT captain

Tyler Adams can’t catch a break this season.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has ruled out the American midfielder for a fifth consecutive game as he continues battling back spasms.

Adams will be absent on Wednesday when Bournemouth takes on Wolves, in what is becoming an increasingly lost season for the U.S. men’s national team star.

Iraola was asked on Tuesday whether Adams or Marcus Tavernier would recover from their injuries in time to face Wolves.

“We don’t lose anyone, we don’t recover anyone, so it’s going to be the same players available,” the coach replied at his pre-match press conference.

Adams remains stuck on three appearances for Bournemouth this season, having missed the opening of the season recovering from hamstring surgery back in March 2023 with Leeds.

The 25-year-old suffered an immediate setback after making his Cherries debut in September, and was forced to go back under the knife for a second surgery. Adams would return in March, making two Bournemouth appearances along with two appearances for the USMNT in the Nations League.

Iraola expanded on Adams’ current situation during a press conference ahead of last weekend’s game against Aston Villa.

“Not a bad injury and feeling pain in his muscle, but after so much time out we have to be careful with these decisions,” the coach said. “The medical department are dealing with it. I hope he will be back early but definitely not for Villa.”

After Wednesday’s game against Wolves, Bournemouth has just four matches remaining in the season.

Bournemouth coach Iraola rules Adams out for another game

It will be the fourth straight match Adams has missed with a back injury

Tyler Adams looks set to miss a fourth consecutive match due to back spasms, according to Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola.

Adams has been held out of three straight matches due to back trouble, and Sunday’s trip to Aston Villa appears to be too soon for the U.S. men’s national team midfielder.

Iraola gave updates on several injured Cherries players at his pre-match press conference on Friday, but did not specifically mention Adams among that group.

The coach was then asked about the remainder of his injured players, to which he replied: “Some are getting closer but I don’t expect them for the Villa game, no.”

The back injury is turning into an increasingly frustrating setback for Adams, who only returned from nearly a year out last month.

Adams was sidelined after a hamstring surgery in March 2023, and had to have a second operation after suffering a setback upon his return in September.

The 25-year-old’s start against Everton on March 30 marked his first time playing a full match in over a year.

Overall, Adams has made just three appearances for Bournemouth this season. He made an emphatic return to the USMNT in the Nations League last month, scoring a memorable long-range strike against Mexico in the final.
