Based on the way his fast feet have been furiously flipping soccer balls around Seattle Sounders preseason training camp, star forward Clint Dempsey looks ready to take on Major League Soccer once again.
His teammates have been echoing that sentiment much of camp, too.
So what does arguably American’s greatest player have to say about his status after being off nearly six months with a heart issue?
“I am still working up (my fitness) now,” Dempsey said. “But I feel like I’m finally getting close – feeling 85 percent, 90 percent (healthy).”
For the first time since he was sidelined indefinitely last August, Dempsey talked to reporters at Starfire Sports about what life has been like after a health scare and what the past few months have been like.
