Sounders and U.S. national team forward Clint Dempsey is undergoing medical evaluations for an irregular heartbeat. He has been ruled out of this Sunday’s match at Portland, and there is no clear timeline for either a more specific diagnosis or a potential return to action.
Dempsey, 33, has tallied eight goals and two assists in 17 MLS appearances this season. He played all 90 minutes against the Timbers at home last Sunday but did not travel with the team to its midweek match at Houston.
No other details are being made publicly available.
Updates to follow with reaction from Sounders training this morning.
