The American missed out at Burnley as Bournemouth drew 0-0, but he has been left out of the USA squad for the break through injury.
But while Adams has been dealt a blow, others may feel a spring in their step after international call ups, not least Brazilian Rayan, who had his first senior call, and he’ll be hoping to show just why Carlo Ancelotti gave him the nod.

The Daily Echo predicts how the Cherries will line up in their final game before the international break.
Goalkeeper
Djordje Petrovic was good against Burnley and continued his solid form between the sticks. He will continue in goal.
Defenders
Alex Jimenez dropped to the bench last weekend at Turf Moor as Andoni Iraola opted for the reliability of skipper Adam Smith.

He explained that the Spaniard was managing some issues, though, but he looked bright off the bench and I would expect him to come back into the side this week.
The rest of the back four I think will remain the same, with Adrien Truffert starting at left back and Marcos Senesi and James Hill partnering at centre back.
Midfielders
With Adams likely ruled out, I would expect Alex Scott to continue in the number six role.
Alongside him will likely be Ryan Christie, once again, although Iraola may choose to play with three midfielders as he has done at times this season, meaning Alex Toth could come in and Christie could play in the ten.
But, I will go for just the two in Scott and Christie.
Forwards
As a result of that, I think Junior Kroupi will start once again behind Evanilson as a number ten/second striker. He, and all the forwards, will be hoping to have more of an impact this week as the Cherries look to re-find some scoring form.

Rayan and Marcus Tavernier will continue on the wings.
Full team: Petrovic; Truffert, Senesi, Hill, Jimenez; Scott, Christie; Tavernier, Kroupi, Rayan; Evanilson.
