Tyler Adams looks set to miss a sizeable chunk of Leeds United’s Premier League run-in. That’s according to The Athletic, who report the midfielder has been forced to have surgery on the troublesome hamstring injury he picked up earlier this month.
The 24-year-old sustained the problem in the build-up to United’s clash with Wolves at Molineux and it was enough to see him pull out of the USA squad. However, after going under the knife, he looks set for a lengthy lay-off as he begins his rehabilitation programme.
It comes as a huge blow for Javi Gracia, who will have been hoping to see Adams play a key role in helping Leeds avoid relegation from the Premier League. The Spaniard will be assessing his options for the coming weeks, though, as he prepares his side for the trip to Arsenal on Saturday and while Adams’ absence will inevitably be felt, Gracia will be feeling confident about his side’s ability to cope without him.
