FC Dallas defender Zach Loyd and Chivas USA defender Heath Pearce have both withdrawn from the camp roster to face Costa Rica and Belgium due to injuries picked up during their clubs matches this past weekend. No big losses there. They've been replaced by Birmingham defender Jonthan Spector and DC United midfielder Chris Pontius. Spector comes into the side for the first time since the Gold Cup and while Pontius has made a camp roster (January 2011) he did not play.
Also coming out today that Clint Dempsey will not join the team in Los Angeles but will meet up with them in Brussels. According to US Soccer, Dempsey seem's to have back spasms, however I think he's been left off because there is currently much transfer speculation surrounding the Fulham ace. Sevilla, Paris Saint-Germain, and Aston Villa have all been mentioned as suitors. Dempsey is currently chasing Champions League play, which Fulham likely will never be able to give him.
More transfer news today, apparently Michael Bradley has or is close to signing with Italian Serie A side AC Chievo Verona. This would be a good move as I think Bradley's style of play suits him best for Serie A or the Bundesliga.
More to come as it lands. Stay tuned.
