USMNT's Tyler Adams gets first start for Bournemouth since March 2024 vs. Brentford

<p>U.S. international Tyler Adams was given the start for Bournemouth in their away contest against Brentford -- his first since last season on March 30, a 2-1 win for The Cherries.</p><p>The move is a strong sign of faith from manager Andoni Iraola as Adams has been battling injuries throughout his time at Bournemouth and has been limited to just five appearances for the club since joining in 2023. The 25-year-old finished a months-long recovery following the Copa America and made his return to action as a substitute on Oct. 26.</p><p>Adams would end up playing 67 minutes in the match, a 3-2 loss for Bournemouth. The midfielder showed some flashes of his best, with a key pass and was the team leader in tackles(four) and interceptions (two). </p><p><em></em></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite the loss, Adams showed flashes of his best and wasn't lacking for confidence as evidenced below:</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">TYLER ADAMS IS WELL AND TRULY BACK, STEPPING OVER A BRENTFORD OPPONENT AND GETTING INTO IT 😂🔥 <a href="https://t.co/Gi4UgBfRKa">pic.twitter.com/Gi4UgBfRKa</a></p>— USMNT Only (@usmntonly) <a href="https://twitter.com/usmntonly/status/1855287142173310979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>Now Adams and the USMNT fan base will await to see if he will be included in U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino's squad call ups this weekend. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The defeat for the Cherries snaps a three-game unbeaten streak for a team many expected to be on the bottom half of the table. The loss sees Iraola's surprising side fall to 11th on the table, pending other weekend results in the Premier League. Bournemouth haven't beaten Brentford in their last six matchups. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Tyler Adams will await to see if he is called in for the U.S. Bournemouth's next fixture will be at home against Brighton on Nov. 23. </p>
