Tyler Adams returned from Youth National Team duty on Thursday and did ‘a little bike’ according to head coach Jesse Marsch.
But the 18-year-old midfielder will be absent from training on Friday for a special reason: to attend his high school prom.
“Tomorrow he’s going to miss training for prom,” Marsch said on Thursday. “It’s still important for a guy like him to appreciate all the little things in life that he doesn’t get his mind so wrapped around being a professional that he misses out on certain things, so Tyler will be at prom on Friday.”
Adams started all five U-20 World Cup matches for the U.S. Men’s National Team in South Korea, and has started all seven games he’s played for the Red Bulls this season.
When asked whether the midfielder would be available for Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup match against NYCFC, Marsch said ‘he’ll be ready.’
