Clint Dempsey is recovering well from a knee injury and is on
target to return to action for Fulham before the end of the Premier
League season.
Dempsey damaged his right knee in Fulham's 2-0 loss to
Blackburn on Jan. 17, but manager Roy Hodgson says the American
should be playing again ahead of U.S. World Cup opener against
England on June 12.
Hodgson said Wednesday that "his progress is good and he is
working very hard to recover. The medical staff are very happy with
him."
Dempsey has 17 goals in 60 appearances for the U.S., which
also plays Slovenia and Algeria in the first round of the World
Cup.
Hodgson says "it's still along way to go until the end of the
season."
