Seattle Sounders will be without Clint Dempsey during their bye week. The forward is going to be with Jurgen Klinsmann and the United States National Team as they prepare and play two matches against Guatemala. Seattle is among the 14 teams respecting this international break.
Dempsey is off to a slow start in competitive matches for the Sounders, but will have high demands against Guatemala. He is the leading scorer among the 26 players called up and a forward set that includes the injured Jozy Altidore. Bobby Wood, Chris Wondolowski and Gyasi Zardes are the other forwards.
