    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Last spring, the USMNT star had suffered an injury while playing for Leeds United which ended his 2022/23 campaign. In the summer, after Leeds got relegated, Adams made a move to Bournemouth. In the ongoing season, he has made only one appearance for the Cherries which came in a 2-0 win over Stoke City in the Carabao Cup in September. During the match, he re-aggravated the injury, forcing another spell on the sidelines. After that, he underwent surgery and has remained in rehab since.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    In November 2022, at the age of just 23, Adams was named the captain of the USMNT ahead of the World Cup in Qatar. He thus became the youngest player to lead a team at the flagship competition and was also the youngest person to captain the US national team since 1950.
