World Cup-bound United States will be without
injured striker Clint Dempsey and midfielder Fabian
Johnson for upcoming friendlies against Scotland
and Austria.
US Soccer said Wednesday that both Dempsey and
Johnson had to withdraw from the squad and no
replacements would be added.
Dempsey strained his right calf during training
Wednesday morning in Glasgow.
Johnson is still troubled by a nagging right ankle
injury.
The United States faces Scotland on Friday at
Hampden Park in Glasgow and four days later take
on Austria for the first time since 1998.
Star striker Landon Donovan as well as Clarence
Goodson, Edward Castillo and Brad Guzan are also
battling injuries and were not in coach Jurgen
Klinsmann's squad.
The United States qualified for their seventh
consecutive World Cup and won the six-team
North American qualifying competition.
