Despite a recent return to training, Sounders forward Clint Dempsey has been ruled out for the remainder of the season to continue treatment for an irregular heartbeat.
Sounders general manager Garth Lagerwey told the media Tuesday that the team is ruling Dempsey out in hopes of getting him back for next season. No more updates will be provided this year, as he will be getting treatment both in Seattle and elsewhere for his condition.
Dempsey’s contract runs through the end of next season.
