Bournemouth boss Iraola upbeat on Adams return

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says summer signing Tyler Adams is a week away from his debut.

Adams arrived from Leeds injured last month.

Iraola said: “I think everyone that was involved last week is ready to play.

“I don't think we will recover anyone.

“I think the only one that is not so far is Tyler (Adams), who will not be for Brighton game, but he has started this week at least to train partially with the group.

“So probably we can have a chance of having him next week, something like this."

Iraola continued: “Alex (Scott) is far behind Tyler.

“Tyler is really close because once you start training partially with the group, it's a matter of sensations, and if you are physically good enough.

“He has a very good physical base.

“So I think it will take not a long time to see Tyler with the team.

“Alex is completely different.

“I know that this week has been the first week he has been outside just doing physical work, but it's a first step in the right direction. But he is far from Tyler."
