Leeds' Tyler Adams out with injury

Tyler Adams has been a key figure for Leeds all season with his combative nature and energetic play, a platform for the club to press high and imitate attacked from deep. 

He missed Leeds’ last Premier League match against Wolves, before being dropped from the United States men’s national team 24-player roster for the CONCACAF Nations League. 

It's unfortunate about Tyler," said USMNT interim manager Anthony Hudson at the time of the roster announcement.

"He is such an important player to us, our captain, and he did an incredible job at the World Cup and improving every time we see him in the Premier League. So, it was disappointing news that we can't have him.”

Big picture for Leeds and Adams

Originally, Adams was expected to return after the international break, but a hamstring injury could mean several weeks out and now his return before the end of the season is unlikely.

Adams has been a key player for the Premier League side since joining from RB Leipzig last summer, making 24 appearances in all competitions. He will be sorely missed, as the club return to Premier League action with a daunting trip to the Emirates to play high-flying Arsenal.

Leeds are currently 14th, two points above the relegation zone with 11 games remaining.
