Brown started every match for the national team in the United States but did not step up to take a spot kick in the shootout following the 1-1 draw.

German outlet Bild reports that he arrived at Barmherzige Bruder Clinic in the Nymphenburg district on Thursday morning for his medical ahead of the “dream” transfer.
