Tyler Adams Undergoes Back Surgery, Faces Lengthy Spell On Sidelines

Tyler Adams of the United States runs on the pitch during the World Cup group B soccer match between England and The United States, at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor , Qatar, on Nov. 25, 2022.

AFC Bournemouth and United States men's national team midfielder Tyler Adams is facing another period of recovery after undergoing back surgery, as confirmed by Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola. The midfielder had been dealing with a back injury towards the end of the season and opted to have surgery shortly after the conclusion of the Copa America tournament.

Adams, who joined Bournemouth from Leeds United last August, has had a challenging time with injuries since his transfer. He made limited appearances for the Cherries last season due to a right hamstring surgery in October. The recent back surgery is expected to keep him out of action for an extended period, with no specific timeline provided for his return.
