Injury has hit Tyler Adams and ruled him out of action until after the imminent international break. The USA captain will miss Leeds United’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday as well as his country’s CONCACAF Nations League double-header before the end of the month.
The 24-year-old suffered a hamstring problem in training at Thorp Arch this week and will now remain at the training ground for assessment. The Whites have not as yet put a timeframe on Adams’s recovery time, but supporters will hope he is back for the trip to Arsenal on April 1.
A club statement said: “Tyler Adams has sustained a hamstring injury in training this week and will therefore not be joining up with the USMNT for international duty after Saturday's game with Wolves. The midfielder will remain at Thorp Arch for further assessment.”

Adams had been scheduled to join up with USA for their matches against Grenada and El Salvador. The first was set to take place in St George’s, Grenada’s capital, which is more than nine hours away by air, with the second taking place in Orlando, Florida before a similar flight time back to the UK.
