USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann is confident Jozy Altidore will be fit for their World Cup knockout clash with Belgium.
The Sunderland striker suffered a hamstring injury in the USA's opening game with Ghana.
"We are very optimistic," Klinsmann said. "Every day is a big step forward with Jozy. It's been 11 days now, and it's looking better every day. We're optimistic we'll have him be part of the Belgium game."
