U.S. men’s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino announced Tyler Adams won’t play against Switzerland in international friendly action after picking up a foot injury against Türkiye.
Adams came off the bench in Saturday’s friendly playing the entirety of the second half. His introduction gave the USMNT some more solidity in midfield, especially after Johnny Cardoso’s poor judgement resulted in Arda Güler’s equalizer. Adams nearly assisted in the second half with a looping cross, but Malik Tillman was unable to score with his header.
“Tyler is out for tomorrow because he suffered a small issue in his foot. But I think it’s not a big issue. Hope it’s not a big issue. I think we can manage it in a good way and rest it for a few days, and then see if he can be ready for the Gold Cup. That is why he’s not going to be involved tomorrow,” Pochettino said in the buildup to the game.
