OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 2/21/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries cost Adams the first couple months of the season, but once he was fit he quickly earned starting minutes in holding midfield. While he didn't top 2,000 minutes he showed his quality and earned more minutes as the seasons progressed, forming a nice pairing with Ryan Christie at the base of the midfield. He added three assists, though he's a true defensive midfielder, with just 18 chances created and nine shots. Adams will be a rock-solid starter next season, with limited offensive upside.
Out 2-3 months
Adams suffered a torn MCL and will miss at least two months, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "Tyler is injured and has torn his MCL, so he will definitely be out for some time. From our previous experience with MCL injuries, it is normally around two or three months."
ANALYSIS
Adams suffered a torn MCL during Monday's draw against Manchester United and is set for an extended spell on the sidelines, as coach Andoni Iraola mentioned an optimistic timeline of two months for his return. Adams will be aiming for a return for the clash against West Ham United on Feb. 21 at best, although a comeback in early March could also be an option. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for the Cherries, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting squad, with Lewis Cook emerging as the main option to step into his spot.

Suffers MCL injury
Adams suffered a knee twist, likely a MCL injury in Monday's 4-4 draw against Manchester United and could miss the rest of the year, coach Andoni Iraola said in a press conference, according to the Bournemouth Echo. "I think it's the worst news from the game, definitely. I think he has a knee twist. I think it's just the MCL. But we have to check him and see if it's just a small sprain or something bigger. It's just a clear play. Obviously it's not what you want in, I think it was the second or third minute, to lose a player like Tyler for us, it's massive."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Red Devils showing interest
Manchester United could make a move for Adams in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Adams suffered a knee injury in the 4-4 draw against Manchester United on Dec. 15 and is expected to miss the rest of the calendar year. The Red Devils have been impressed with Adams' displays for the Cherries, and since the Red Devils need to sign a new midfielder, a move for Adams makes perfect sense. It's unclear if Bournemouth will be open to part ways with the USMNT star, though.
