BournemouthRuled out vs. Manchester United
Adams won't be available for Friday's game against Manchester United and could miss two to three weeks of action due to a quadriceps injury, according to managers Andoni Iraola and Mauricio Pochettino. "Tyler is not going to be available, as you suppose, because he hasn't been in the squad for the US."
Analysis: Adams won't be an option for Friday's fixture against the Red Devils after picking up an injury before the match against Burnley, so this will be his second straight absence. With Lewis Cook (hamstring) also unavailable, Bournemouth might be forced to start Alex Scott and Ryan Christie again as the central midfield pairing. Adams won't play with the USMNT over the international break, and he'll aim to return to the side for the April 11 clash at Arsenal, as he is now expected to miss the next two to three weeks due to the apparent quadriceps injury.
Unlikely against United
Adams (undisclosed) suffered an issue in Friday's training session and was forced to miss Saturday's clash against Burnley, leaving him a major doubt for Friday's showdown against Manchester United, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per the Bournemouth Daily Echo. "Tyler felt something yesterday training. It doesn't look anything too serious, but it's true that for today was out. And also we are playing, I think, United in six days. We play Friday, so I don't know, I cannot tell you if it's going to be available or not. I think it's going to be difficult because if even if it's very small, it's six days. I cannot tell you right now, but I see that it's going to be difficult and it's a shame because we don't have a lot of injuries right now, but we have Lew and Tyler that basically are our two number 6s in the same position out together."
Analysis: Adams picked up an issue during Friday's training session and was forced to sit out Saturday's clash against the Clarets. This is a major blow for the Cherries since he is an undisputed starter and could also miss Friday's showdown against Manchester United as the turnaround may come too quickly for him. While the issue is considered minor, the midfielder might not recover in time, and if that happens, Ryan Christie would once again be in line to step into the starting role.
Not available Saturday
Adams (undisclosed) is not available for Saturday's clash against Burnley, the club posted.
Analysis: Adams wasn't included in the matchday squad for Saturday's clash against the Clarets due to undisclosed reasons. The American had started the Cherries' previous three matches, so his absence leaves a noticeable gap in the middle of the park, with Ryan Christie stepping into his spot Saturday and expected to see an uptick in minutes in the midfield until Adams returns.
Picked for bench
Adams (knee) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Everton.
Analysis: Adams has been out for close to two months but is an option Tuesday, with the midfielder finally fit enough for the bench. This is a huge addition to the team after he was a starter to begin the season. That said, this is his first time on the team sheet serving from the bench all season, likely to work back into starting time.
Getting closer
Adams (knee) is expected to return to team training Monday, but Tuesday's clash against Everton may come too soon, head coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Echo.
Analysis: Adams has been sidelined since mid-December with an MCL injury but is now closing in on a comeback, with a return to full team training scheduled for Monday. Tuesday's matchup against Everton may come a bit too soon, but head coach Andoni Iraola hasn't ruled him out during the presser, hinting that Adams could make the squad if he responds well in training. Once fully fit, Adams is expected to immediately regain his undisputed starting spot in the heart of the Cherries' midfield.
Out 2-3 months
Adams suffered a torn MCL and will miss at least two months, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "Tyler is injured and has torn his MCL, so he will definitely be out for some time. From our previous experience with MCL injuries, it is normally around two or three months."
Analysis: Adams suffered a torn MCL during Monday's draw against Manchester United and is set for an extended spell on the sidelines, as coach Andoni Iraola mentioned an optimistic timeline of two months for his return. Adams will be aiming for a return for the clash against West Ham United on Feb. 21 at best, although a comeback in early March could also be an option. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for the Cherries, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting squad, with Lewis Cook emerging as the main option to step into his spot.
Suffers MCL injury
Adams suffered a knee twist, likely a MCL injury in Monday's 4-4 draw against Manchester United and could miss the rest of the year, coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo. "I think it's the worst news from the game, definitely. I think he has a knee twist. I think it's just the MCL. But we have to check him and see if it's just a small sprain or something bigger. It's just a clear play. Obviously it's not what you want in, I think it was the second or third minute, to lose a player like Tyler for us, it's massive."
Analysis: Adams was forced off early in Monday's draw against Manchester United after twisting his knee, with the MCL likely affected. The midfielder will be assessed in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury and ensure nothing more serious has occurred. This would be a big blow for the Cherries since he is an undisputed starter in midfield, and if he were to miss time, a change would be required in the starting XI, with Marcus Tavernier, Lewis Cook or Alex Scott pairing in midfield if Adams' injury proves to be serious.
Injured against Man Utd
Adams was forced off just five minutes into Monday's clash with Manchester United.
Analysis: Adams picked up an injury inside the opening five minutes and was forced off during Monday's clash with Manchester United. Alex Scott came on to replace him and would likely get his starting spot back if Adams had to miss time. Lewis Cook could also feature going forward following his three-game suspension.
Back from suspension
Adams is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.
Analysis: Adams has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in the Premier League and is set to return in the next contest. The midfielder is an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for the Cherries and will claim back that role on Monday against Manchester United.
Set for suspension
Adams will serve one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Premier League.
Analysis: Adams accumulated five yellow cards in the Premier League and will be suspended for the clash against Chelsea on Dec. 6. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for the Cherries, with Marcus Tavernier likely playing in a deeper role against the Blues. Adams will be back available for the clash against Manchester United on Dec. 15.
Scores one in defeat
Adams scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Sunderland.
Analysis: Adams earned his third goal contribution in the last five games, and his second goal within the last four. This also marked the 10th straight game where he completed at least 30 passes. On the defensive side, he grabbed his first tackle won in three outings.
Available against West Ham
Adams (concussion) will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against West Ham United, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "They are available for the game but it's true that in these two weeks, they have had to go through the process of concussion, which is quite meticulous and has definitely affected the training for both."
Analysis: Adams suffered a head collision during the game against Aston Villa and has been going through concussion protocols over the break. The midfielder will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa. The Cherries will hope to have him fit for the game since he is an undisputed starter in the midfield for the club.
Not playing over break
Adams has been dropped from the USMNT team due to an injury he suffered in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Aston Villa, according to his team.
Analysis: Adams looked to have suffered a head injury after colliding with a teammate in the first half of Sunday's loss but continued to play. However, it appears he is dealing with some setbacks, as he was dropped from his national team. After the manager, manager Andoni Iraola stated, "Live, they tell me Tyler is going to continue. But I think he has finished the game. So I hope that in his case it's nothing there." It's unclear what the situation with Adams is, but he'll get some needed rest over the next two weeks.
Option to face Villa
Adams is back available for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa after overcoming the knock he suffered against Manchester City, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to Alexander Smith from the Bournemouth Daily Echo.
Analysis: Adams was forced off late during the clash against Manchester City due to a knock to his knee that revealed to be minor since he is already back available for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa. This is great news for the Cherries since Adams has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game and should resume that role on Sunday.
Injury deemed minor
Adams has been deemed to have suffered a minor injury after a clash of knees forced him off the field, according to Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Echo.
Analysis: Adams was looked to have suffered an injury late into Sunday's contest after coming off the field early, but has avoided anything serious, as the midfielder was involved in a clash of knees and is only dealing with a contact injury. This is massive news after 10 straight starts for the midfielder, as he shouldn't be sidelined, likely to be dealing with a bruise at the worst. He will look to then continue in his starting role moving forward, especially after two straight appearances with a goal contribution.
Scores goal, comes off injured
Adams suffered a potential foot injury after scoring a goal in Sunday's trip to Manchester City.
Analysis: Adams made the score sheet on a set piece in the 25th minute before being replaced by Ben Gannon Doak in the 80th of Sunday's clash. The event of a serious problem would put an end to Adams' streak of 10 EPL starts, but it remains unclear if that will be the case. The goal was his second direct contribution in consecutive games.
First assist in win
Adams assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Adams put in a solid performance Sunday, providing the assist for the Cherries second goal smashed home by Eli Kroupi. He also executed an interception, a clearance and made six successful recoveries. It was the regular starter's first assist of the season but he is yet to find the net.
Keeps role in midfield
Adams started all seven Premier League games this season for Bournemouth, remaining a defensive anchor in the midfield.
Analysis: Adams started the season in the same fashion he ended the last one, as the main defensive anchor in the midfield for the Cherries. He has contributed well in the defensive area with 18 tackles, 15 interceptions and 11 clearances in seven appearances, helping the team secure two clean sheets. That said, his offensive contributions look a bit behind last season since he has created only one chance so far and appeared to have more opportunities previously, failing to register a goal contribution this campaign.
