“I don’t know,” Berhalter said on Tuesday. “We’re taking it the same way he’s taking it, and that’s day by day. And as we get information, we’ll be able to make decisions but for us, it’s just supporting him, continuing to communicate with his club, and really not getting ahead of ourselves.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Adams suffered an initial hamstring setback in March 2023 while at Leeds United and underwent surgery to solve the issue. Six months later, the USMNT midfielder had moved to Bournemoith but re-aggravated the injury at the Cherries – leading to more surgery in October. Adams has not featured for the national side since captaining them at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
