United States coach Bob Bradley has confirmed Hull flop Jozy Altidore will start against England in Saturday's World Cup clash in Rustenburg.
Altidore netted only one goal for the Tigers last season when on loan from Villarreal.
But the 20-year-old will face Fabio Capello's side after recovering from an ankle injury which kept him out of last weekend's friendly win over Australia.
Altidore was USA's leading scorer during their qualification campaign with six goals.
Bradley said: "It was an important year for Jose. Any player that has gone to the Premier League finds out about the level and the competitiveness.
"But I think he grew a lot at Hull and the one thing I would always say about Jose, from our experiences with him, is when he's come into our camps he's shown that, when things don't come easily it's helped him.
