AFC Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams is set to return from a quadriceps injury for the Cherries' game at Premier League-leading Arsenal on Saturday.
The 27-year-old United States men's national team star missed Bournemouth's last two matches as well as two U.S. friendlies over the international break in his race to be fit to play on Mauricio Pochettino's squad for the 2026 World Cup.
"I am feeling strong and ready to go," Adams, the U.S. captain at the 2022 World Cup, told club media.

Staying in Bournemouth to rehab "gave me a period of time to get stronger, get more fit and focus on the objectives with the boys here."
"I'm feeling consistent, I'm feeling strong now and I think it's just important to finish the season strong," said Adams, who also missed time this season because of an MCL tear.
Bournemouth takes an 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League to north London. The Cherries' last loss in the league was to Arsenal -- 3-2 at home on Jan. 3.
The team is 13th in the standings with seven games left in the season.
