USMNT star Tyler Adams to make return from injury for Bournemouth vs Brentford as Cherries handed major boost

In a press conference on Friday, Iraola confirmed that Lloyd Kelly will return for the Cherries this weekend, along with Marcus Tavernier - and of course, Adams. The U.S. captain has been sidelined since early April, with his last appearance coming on March 30. He has recently been dealing with back spasms.

Adams has missed a large chunk of the 2023-24 season due to injury. From hamstring surgery in the fall to this latest setback, he has only played three matches for the Cherries this season across all competitions.

For the USMNT, however, he logged two appearances in March during the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals and finals. He scored a screamer against Mexico, helping hand the U.S. the trophy in another edition of Dos a Cero. Adams' return for Bournemouth gives Gregg Berhalter and Co. a major boost ahead of Copa America.

Ahead of this summer's marquee tournament in the USA, the USMNT will play friendlies against participants Brazil and Colombia in June.

Adams and the Cherries will take on Brentford on Sunday. Bournemouth, with just three matches left in the campaign, will look to ease Adams in and finish the season strong.
