Fabian Johnson isn't yet eligible to suit up for the U.S. national team, but it might be a little while before he plays for club or country.
According his club, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, Johnson injured his neck in training on Tuesday. He reportedly has a herniated disc and is expected to miss the next four weeks while getting treatment.
Johnson was called in to the U.S. national team for the first time by coach Jurgen Klinsmann ahead of this month's friendlies against Costa Rica and Belgium in order to get more acclimated with the program prior to his switch from Germany to the United States being approved by FIFA.
All indications are that he will play for the United States at some point, but given the timeline of his recent injury it would appear that next month's friendlies against Honduras and Ecuador may be too soon for that occasion.
