Leeds United star Tyler Adams has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against Wolves and the US Men’s National Team games against Grenada and El Savador.
The summer 2022 signing has sustained a hamstring injury in training this week and the club says he will not be joining up with the USMNT for international duty following this weekend’s crunch Premier League fixture. Instead, Adams will remain at Thorp Arch for further assessment. It is not yet known how long he will be out.
Adams was expected to be involved in the CONCACAF Nations League games, having become a mainstay of the USMNT side and shone at the World Cup. For Leeds this season he has been almost ever-present, starting 24 of their 26 Premier League fixtures and staying on the pitch until the final whistle in each of those, barring the game at Tottenham Hotspur when he was sent off for a second bookable offense.
A £20m buy from RB Leipzig, the 24-year-old could be replaced in the midfield by fellow USMNT international Weston McKennie, who joined the club on loan from Juventus in January. Javi Gracia’s other midfield options include Under 21s youngster Darko Gyabi and Sam Greenwood. Adam Forshaw has been missing since the turn of the year and Stuart Dallas remains a long-term injury absentee.
Leeds United was rocked by an injury to a key player ahead of the Wolves’ visit and the international break
Tyler Adams suffered a hamstring injury at Thorp Arch in training with Leeds United this week and will now miss the trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers as well as USA’s coming games
Injury has hit Tyler Adams and ruled him out of action until after the imminent international break. The USA captain will miss Leeds United’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday as well as his country’s CONCACAF Nations League double-header before the end of the month.
The 24-year-old suffered a hamstring problem in training at Thorp Arch this week and will now remain at the training ground for assessment. The Whites have not as yet put a timeframe on Adams’s recovery time, but supporters will hope he is back for the trip to Arsenal on April 1.
A club statement said: “Tyler Adams has sustained a hamstring injury in training this week and will therefore not be joining up with the USMNT for international duty after Saturday’s game with Wolves. The midfielder will remain at Thorp Arch for further assessment.”
Adams had been scheduled to join up with the USA for their matches against Grenada and El Salvador. The first was set to take place in St George’s, Grenada’s capital, which is more than nine hours away by air, with the second taking place in Orlando, Florida before a similar flight time back to the UK.
