Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits Tyler Adams may undergo hamstring surgery after his new setback.

Having arrived from Leeds injury in August, Adams made his debut in the Carabao Cup win against Stoke City, but he missed defeat at home to Arsenal.

And Iraola said today: “Tyler, we don't expect him soon again with us.

“I think the medical staff are analysing the situation. They are asking different specialists to take the best route we have.

“We still haven't decided. But whatever the solution he takes or we take, we don't expect him soon on the pitch.

“It's the same hamstring.

“He's not feeling well. He played some minutes because he wanted to give it a try, but he didn't have good sensations.

“Now, we stop because something is not going well.

“Because you've done all the previous things, so you should be ready to perform now and things are not going well.

“We have to think of another solution yet. I think even surgery is not out of the question.

“It's a possibility because we have to make sure that once we have him, we have him without any issue. 100 per cent. And I think they are analysing everything now.

“We have to take a decision."
