“Tyler is improving. He is out definitely tomorrow [Saturday] but it is a muscle thing”, Iraola said on Friday. “I think he can continue this improvement and he can be available next week.”
Just three games all season
Adams had a multitude of injuries throughout the 2023-24 season. Across all leagues and tournaments, he has only appeared in three matches.

The goals came from Adams and Reyna, who both had good reasons not to start the game, but who came out on top in different ways. The former had a 45-minute restriction, and it was known going into the encounter that it would be his third since recovering from a hamstring injury.
“It was an easy decision because if you think about what we did last time cost two subs, right?,” Berhalter said…
