It was announced on Friday by the Seattle Sounders that striker and US Men’s National Team star Clint Dempsey will miss Sunday’s match against the Portland Timbers because he is experiencing an irregular heartbeat. Dempsey will be undergoing medical examinations for his condition in the next few days. There is not specific timeline for Dempsey’s return to the side, but Seattle fans will hope it is sooner rather than later.
Though the club isn’t releasing any other details about Dempsey’s condition, Sounders’ GM Garth Lagerway has said that his irregular heartbeat is been something they have been aware of.
