TORONTO - United States national team head coach Bruce Arena offered perhaps the most encouraging words in months considering the health of Clint Dempsey on Saturday night, telling Fox Sports that he wants to bring the Seattle Sounders star forward into the USMNT’s annual January camp next month.
Arena made the announcement just minutes before kickoff of the MLS Cup Final at BMO Field, adding that he’s hopeful Dempsey could be fit and able to play for the USMNT when the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers resume in March.
