U.S. and Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams is set to have hamstring surgery that will sideline him between three and four months. The news was confirmed on Friday by Bournemouth’s manager Andoni Iraola.
Adams joined Bournemouth in August in a transfer worth around €26 million from Leeds United. However, the hamstring issue limited him to just one appearance in the EFL Cup.
“When we talked two weeks ago, one of the options, after Tyler’s feelings once he played the cup game, was that he had to solve this problem once and for all,” Iraola told reporters during a press conference. “He will have surgery and will be out at least three or four months.”
Adams already had one hamstring surgery in March, but it appears that the procedure was unsuccessful.
“From the previous surgery, he wasn’t feeling well, he was improving then having a setback then improving, something didn’t go very well, and he will have to have it again,” Iraola added.
Not having Adams for an extended period is another tough blow for Bournemouth as they try to salvage their 2023-24 campaign. After nine Premier League matches, Bournemouth finds itself in the relegation zone, sitting at No. 19 with zero wins and only three points.
