Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore will be out of the lineups according to Team USA head coach Jurgen Kilnnsman.
Klinsmann says Dempsey is out for Scotland, hopes he'll be ready for Brazil. Everybody else is available #USMNT

In place of Dempsey and Altidore in the lineup, Chris Wondolowski and Herculez Gomez will both get a shot to play against Scotland. Gomez was on the 2010 US World Cup 23-man roster and played in three of their four 2010 FIFA World Cup games. Wondolowski played with the US team in their friendly against Chile back in January.
