A deep breath is being taken by Tyler Adams before the second Leeds United push as he shakes off the last of a World Cup calf knock. Qatar and his Manchester City suspension have paved the way for a managed approach to Adams’s New Year’s Eve return.
The 23-year-old was pitchside at Elland Road on Tuesday night as the club opened its doors for supporters to watch an open training session in aid of charity Mission Christmas. As was the case last Friday when Real Sociedad visited, Adams was conspicuous by his absence from the field.
It transpires Adams is not only recuperating from every minute of four, full throttle matches, but also a calf knock he suffered in the Netherlands loss. The USA captain would have been training in front of the fans if he had his way, but Jesse Marsch and the medical staff have taken this chance to give him an extended reset and flush out any issues.
