Tyler Adams and Josh Sargent fitness updates issued by USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter ahead of Brazil friendly

Adams endured a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-captain-tyler-adams-injury-nightmare-copa-america/bltcd9003afedcba8f2" target="_blank">challenging period due to a torn right hamstring that required surgery,</a> limiting him to just one club match between March 2023 and March 13 of the following year. Despite a brief return to action with two matches for Bournemouth in March, back spasms further restricted his playing time, culminating in a brief 11-minute appearance on May 11. Although he is yet to be completely match-fit, Berhalter might give him some minutes ahead of the Copa America.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On the other hand, 24-year-old forward Sargent, who showcased his scoring prowess with 16 goals in 26 league games for Norwich City in England's second tier, has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gregg-berhalter-josh-sargent-usmnt-clash-with-colombia/blt5696e0edc360a055" target="_blank">come out second best in the race against time</a> to recover completely from the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-copa-america-tyler-adams-josh-sargent/blt5b016fc28312fd7e" target="_blank">foot injury.</a> Hence, he will not be able to participate in the forthcoming match against Brazil.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to reporters, Berhlater said: "Tyler will be available to play limited minutes and my guess is it's under 45 minutes that he's able to play. (Whereas), Josh is progressing well. (But) he won't take part in this game."

WHAT BERHALTER SAID

The USMNT face a formidable challenge against Brazil, having lost 11 consecutive games against the Selecao. They have a dismal head-to-head record of 1-18 when taking on the five-time world champions.

DID YOU KNOW?

Looking ahead to the Copa America, the United States will kick off their campaign against Bolívia on June 23 in Arlington, Texas, followed by matches against Panama and Uruguay on June 27 and July 1, respectively, in Kansas City, Missouri.
