“I had a very severe word with Fabian Johnson and I sent him home today. The situation had occurred there at the end of the game where he said he couldn’t go any more and I reacted to it and obviouslymade the substitution. He just feared to possibly get an injury, but he was not injured in that moment. He got all stiffened up. It was a muscle issue. It’s normal. He’s going home after we had thetalk. He can rethink a bit his approach towards his team.”
