United States<\/a> men’s national team midfielder Tyler Adams<\/a> has suspected medial collateral ligament damage after limping out of Bournemouth’s<\/a> 4-4 draw with Manchester United<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

In the second minute of the match at Old Trafford, Adams was injured while challenging Matheus Cunha<\/a>. He came off after treatment on the pitch.<\/p>\n

“He’s the worst news from the game, definitely,” Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola said. “The knee twisted, I think the MCL. We’ll have to check and see if it is a small sprain or bigger.<\/p>\n

“To lose a player like Tyler for us is massive, especially when you don’t have Lewis Cook<\/a> (suspended). Alex<\/a> (Scott) has to play in that holding midfield position and he has done it really well but it’s bad news for us because Tyler is massive for us.”<\/p>\n

Adams captained the United States<\/a> at the last World Cup in 2022 in Qatar<\/a>. The next U.S. games are not until March, a pair of friendlies.<\/p>\n

He’s been invaluable again for Bournemouth, appearing in all but one Premier League round and scoring twice, including the goal of the month for November.<\/p>\n
