Tyler Adams Returns to U.S. With Back Injury, Putting USMNT Availability in Doubt

The list of potential starters for the U.S. men's national team at the Concacaf Nations League semifinals is dwindling by the day.

After center back Aaron Long tore his Achilles over the weekend, his former New York Red Bulls teammate, Tyler Adams, has been sent back to the U.S. by RB Leipzig to rehabilitate a back injury suffered last month, cutting his season short a game early and putting his availability for the U.S. next month in doubt.

Leipzig, which has already clinched a second-place finish in the Bundesliga, will complete the season Saturday against Union Berlin without Adams, who departed the club's quarantine training camp to return home on Wednesday.
