Clint Dempsey has been given the all-clear by doctors after tweaking his groin warming up ahead of Tuesday’s match. Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann might make some changes to his starting lineup, potentially giving Aron Johannsson and Mix Diskerud, two players who made an impact against Azerbaijan off the bench, a chance to start.
The only other time the two sides have met was a World Cup warmup in 2010 that saw the US win, 2-1, thanks to goals from Dempsey and Jozy Altidore.

Venue: Red Bull Arena, Harrison, N.J.
