BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams has made his first appearance since the Copa America and helped Bournemouth draw with Aston Villa 1-1 in the English Premier League. Adams, who captained the U.S. at the 2022 World Cup, came on as a substitute in the 81st minute at Villa Park to make his season debut on Saturday. He has been out since late July after undergoing back surgery. Bournemouth trailed 1-0 when Adams replaced Ryan Christie. Bournemouth went on to salvage a draw through Evanilson’s equalizer in the sixth minute of added time.
