Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams sidelined until early 2024 because of hamstring surgery

Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams is expected to miss at least three months after a second surgery for a hamstring problem that has limited him to just an appearance for the Premier League club.

The United States of America captain joined Bournemouth on a five-year deal in the offseason after a one-year stint at Leeds United that ended with him having hamstring surgery in March.

The 24-year-old New York native returned to play last month in an English League Cup game, but felt discomfort afterward.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said Friday that Adams will be sidelined “for three or four months.” Adams was named captain of the US team ahead of last year's World Cup in Qatar. At 23, he was the youngest captain at the tournament.

After being relegated, Leeds sent Adams to Bournemouth for a transfer fee reported to be up to 24 million pounds (USD 29 million).
