There is a saying: out of sight, out of mind, and this phrase perfectly fits into the football world where a good player can become a not required one in few months of absence from the field. US coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who is now shortlisting US national team for the remaining world cup qualifiers, has now said that their star player Landon Donovan needs some more time to secure his place in the national team.
