Following a prolonged absence, American international Fabian Johnson returned to full training this week and may likely Return To Action for his club Borussia Monchengladbach this weekend as they face Augsburg in the German Bundesliga. Monchengladbach still has an “outside shot” at a Europa League berth, and the return of the US Men National team midfielder adds another “piece” for a side that is climbing up the Bundesliga log.
