Hearts dropped in the Leeds United squad when Tyler Adams went down with the hamstring injury which could end his season, but the team has rallied around the stricken midfielder. The USA captain has been a regular in the stands at Elland Road over the past few weeks, frequently seen out on the field after full-time with his team-mates.
Adams would break down in training with the injury during the week between the Brighton & Hove Albion draw and Wolverhampton Wanderers win. Initially, Adams was pulled out of USA duty, but it soon became clear he would need surgery.
While Javi Gracia and the club are yet to put a set return date on Adams, the final match of the season arrives in less than six weeks. It would be a tall order for Adams to return to training with enough time to then get himself sharp enough to have an impact on the field.
