Fabian Johnson misses final USA training ahead of Guatemala match

He remains sidelined.

As the United States Men's National Team took the field at the Estadio Nacional Mateo Flores for their final training session ahead of Friday's World Cup Qualifier against Guatemala, the nation's current best player patrolled the sidelines. Despite Jurgen Klinsmann still publicly saying that he's "available", it appears to be nearly impossible that Fabian Johnson will make an appearance in the Guatemala City game.

One must question the wisdom of forcing a player suffering a muscle injury to fly across the world to not play in a game.
