He's in terrible form, perhaps he shouldn't play. The hope is to get him up to speed these next couple matches.
Jóhannsson will hopefully get some playing time as well, so we'll see. I don't think Klinsmann is blind to all this and he isn't afraid of playing inexperienced players.
He likes playing with strong, direct players. Examples Klose, Toni, Muller, Altidore. Hopefully these friendlies allow one to emerge or Johannsen to get a chance.
