Chicago Fire's Everton trainee Johnson looking to make USA impact

Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson was delighted to be called up for the USA senior squad for two upcoming friendlies.

The 22-year old gloveman is part of Juergen Klinsmann's roster for matches against Venezuela and Panama next month and after spending time training with Premier League club Everton, is ready to give his best and build on his one international appearance which came against Chile in January this year.

"I'm definitely excited about it," Johnson said. "There's a lot to look forward to in getting to play alongside the guys that are going to be there.

"We have two games to cap off the camp, so I think it will be good competition and one that will help prepare for the season as well.

"The January camp is always the one where there's a longer camp and it's going to be one that's demanding and I think the guys are ready for that," Johnson added.

"Everybody has to work hard and prepare for the games. The most important thing is to come together at the end and get results against Panama and Venezuela."
