Leeds United’s Tyler Adams undergoes surgery for hamstring injury
Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams has been dealt a fresh injury blow after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury. The USMNT international suffered the problem before the international break, ruling him out of a longer stretch of the Premier League run-in. The exact length of Adams’ time out is yet to be established, but an extended absence comes as a blow to head coach Javi Gracia.
Adams damaged a muscle during a training session ahead of Leeds’ 4-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on March 18 and was forced to pull out of international duty with the USMNT, remaining in England where he went under the knife. The 24-year-old, who joined Leeds from RB Leipzig last summer, has been a prominent part of United’s line-up this term, starting 24 times in the top flight.
Leeds are currently 14th in the table, two points above the bottom three, and have 11 matches remaining beginning with Arsenal away this Saturday. The club is expected to make further assessments next week on Adams’ injury.
Leeds United’s Premier League run-in without Tyler Adams
Leeds United’s hopes of a strong finish to the Premier League season have been dealt a blow with the news that midfielder Tyler Adams will be out for an extended period due to a hamstring injury. The USMNT international has been a key player for the club this season, starting 24 times in the top flight.
Adams’ injury comes at a crucial time for Leeds, who are currently 14th in the table and just two points above the relegation zone. The club has 11 matches remaining, beginning with a tough away fixture against Arsenal this Saturday.
Leeds will be hoping that other players can step up in Adams’ absence, but the midfielder’s energy and work rate will be sorely missed. The club is expected to make further assessments next week on the length of Adams’ time out.
