- Adams signs for Bournemouth
- Sidelined through injury
- Iraola provides positive update
WHAT HAPPENED? The 24-year-old is yet to make his debut for the Cherries since arriving in a £23million move from Leeds United in the summer, after being sidelined with a long-term hamstring injury. However, the American is now getting closer to making his debut for Bournemouth, after his new boss Andoni Iraola released a positive update on his fitness.
WHAT THEY SAID:“I think the only one that is not [recovered] so far is Tyler [Adams], who won't be available for the Brighton game but he has started training partially with the group," said Iraola.
"There is a chance of having him in the next week or two weeks or so. Tyler is really close because once you start training partially with the group, it’s a matter of sensations, and if you are physically good enough.
“He has a very good physical base. So I think it will take not a long time to see Tyler with the team.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The USMNT midfielder has not played since March after undergoing surgery on his hamstring, but will be looking to make a positive impact at Vicarage Road once he makes his return from injury, after suffering relegation with Leeds last season.
