United States<\/a> midfielder Tyler Adams<\/a> has possible medial collateral ligament damage after limping out of Bournemouth<\/a>‘s 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 [Scott<\/a>] 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 at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The next U.S. games are not until March, a pair of friendlies.<\/p>\n

He has 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

The 26-year-old has been in and out of the lineup for the U.S. and at club level throughout his career with a variety of muscular injuries and back issues.<\/p>\n
