NEW YORK (AP) — Jurgen Klinsmann envisions Landon Donovan returning to the U.S. national team. He’s just not sure when.

Back with the Los Angeles Galaxy following a four-month sabbatical, Donovan was bypassed for the American roster for three World Cup qualifiers next month.

Klinsmann won’t commit to recalling the 31-year-old midfielder for a pair of qualifiers in September. Donovan might be selected for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, when most of the Americans with European clubs will be given time off from the national team.

Klinsmann says he will “take it week by week and month by month.”
