Tallies an assist
Johansson assisted once to go with five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Johansson had decent service with five crosses and was a good facilitator for FC Dallas' offense. The midfielder did get an assist, and he'll likely post solid numbers against a Seattle Sounders defense that has conceded 35 times this season.
Starts in SKC match
Johansson (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Johansson could have a good chance to produce in a favorable matchup after completing a fast recovery from the issue that forced him to leave the previous contest. While he might combine attacking and defensive duties in his current position, Johansson may be relied on for his usual average of 2.4 clearances per game. His presence from kickoff leaves Shaq Moore in a central spot while pushing Sebastien Ibeagha to the bench.
Forced off Sunday
Johansson abandoned Sunday's clash against St. Louis City with a potential muscle problem.
Analysis: Johansson felt a pain in the back of his right thigh and was unable to continue in his return to the starting squad after being rested in a prior matchup. While the extent of the injury is still unknown, a significant blow would leave Dallas without a versatile full-back and midfield asset. If he's not ready to play in subsequent weeks, there will likely be an opportunity for defender Shaq Moore to produce on the right flank.
Delivers assist in victory
Johansson assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win against San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Johansson provided an attacking spark from the right flank, with one of his deliveries into the box leading to Petar Musa's 49th-minute finish for the second away goal against the Earthquakes. After recording his second goal involvement of the campaign, the winger will look to remain active even if used as a full-back, where he could also pick up occasional defensive production.
