Clint Dempsey confirmed Tuesday he's medically cleared for a return to the Seattle Sounders ahead of the 2017 Major League Soccer season, the New York Times' Matt Pentz reported.
"I don't want to go that much into it," Dempsey said of the situation. "I'm cleared to play. I've taken the proper time out that I needed to be out for what was going on, and I'm feeling good now."
The Sounders announced last September the 33-year-old would miss the rest of the 2016 campaign after being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.
