Despite returning from injury for Bournemouth, Tyler Adams was not called up by Mauricio Pochettino for the USMNT's upcoming Concacaf Nations League fixtures against Jamaica.
Pochettino's 25-man squad for his first competitive fixtures in charge of the U.S. men's national team did not feature many surprises. Christian Pulisic headlined the roster, Tim Weah returned to the team and Gio Reyna and Folarin Balogun missed out due to injury. The one other major omission from the roster was Adams.
The midfielder underwent back surgery after the USMNT crashed out of Copa América 2024 and was sidelined for the first few months of the 2024–25 season. His lengthy layoff prevented him from attending Pochettino's first training camp back in October.
Adams made his long-awaited return to the pitch Oct. 26 in Bournemouth's 1–1 draw with Aston Villa. He then featured against Manchester City for 24 minutes and Brentford for 67 minutes. His progress was not enough, though, to represent the Stars and Stripes in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals.
