United States men’s national team fans drew a sigh of relief on Friday as Bournemouth announced that the Tyler Adams injury will see the defensive midfielder sidelined for two or three months.

The U.S. men's national team has increasingly become a hub for dual-national talent, thanks to the country's diverse population and global diaspora.
