The U.S. national team coach will likely turn to Jorge Villafana or DaMarcus Beasley at left back against Honduras and Panama
Fabian Johnson is poised to play on the left side of midfield in the U.S. national team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, coach Bruce Arena confirmed Wednesday.
Johnson played both fullback slots and outside midfield under Klinsmann, serving as the Americans' first-choice left back at the Copa America Centenario last summer and the 2015 Gold Cup. But he's a regular start as a winger for Borussia Monchengladbach, for whom he has scored four goals in 29 appearances this season.
