The ongoing feud between United States men's national team boss Jurgen Klinsmann and defender Fabian Johnson took its latest turn on Saturday as Johnson started for Borussia Monchengladbach.

Upon his return to Borussia Monchengladbach, the club announced Johnson was being treated for a thigh injury, which helped make sense of Johnson's removal from the clash with Mexico.



However, Johnson seemed fine on Saturday as he played all 90 minutes for the Bundesliga side in their 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
