American forward Jozy Altidore has missed the first part of training because of an upset stomach.

Altidore missed the stretch during Tuesday's workout at Eersterust Stadium, where practice was moved because FIFA wanted to preserve the condition of the field as Loftus Versfeld, the site of Wednesday's game. He joined his teammates on the field just before practice was closed to reporters.

``Jozy just wasn't feeling well, but he'll be fine for tomorrow,'' U.S. coach Bob Bradley said later during a news conference at Loftus Versfeld.

The U.S. will be without forward Robbie Findley, suspended after getting yellow cards against England and Slovenia.
