Adams Available

 After Missing Out Against Fulham, Available Against Evert This Weekend

U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams has been cleared to return for Bournemouth's Premier League clash with Everton on Saturday, providing a significant boost to Andoni Iraola's squad. The 25-year-old midfielder missed last weekend's match against Fulham with what has been described as a "very small" muscle issue.

Adams' availability comes at a crucial time for the Cherries, who are enjoying a remarkable season and currently sit seventh in the Premier League table, just one point behind Manchester City. His return to fitness is particularly welcoming given his injury-plagued start to life at the Vitality Stadium, where he's made nine Premier League appearances this season after missing the first two months while recovering from back surgery.

The match against Everton promises to be a stern test for Bournemouth, with Iraola highlighting the Toffees' impressive recent form against top opposition. "They are a dangerous team... they've played this month against Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and they haven't lost," the Spaniard noted, adding that Everton's defensive record of seven clean sheets makes them particularly formidable.

The last meeting between these sides produced one of the Premier League's most dramatic comebacks, with Bournemouth turning a 2-0 deficit in the 86th minute into a stunning 3-2 victory. However, Iraola is hoping for a more straightforward affair this time around, emphasizing the need for tactical discipline and patience against Everton's robust defense, which has conceded less than a goal per game in their last 13 matches.
