It's April 21st. This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. Jonathan Klinzman, the Susena goalkeeper, fractured his spine in Saturday's CERI B clash with Palermo, and he's done for the season. This 29-year-old American was on track for a spot in the U.S. World Cup squad after a solid run in Italy's second division. He's the son of Jürgen Klinzman, the former Germany star and U.S. coach, and had earned call-ups to recent national team friendlies, though he hasn't earned a capi-ed. Klinzman shared the bad news on Instagram Monday, saying the injury means an indefinite recovery and no more games this year. Susena took a two-nothing loss that day and sits eighth with 44 points. Born in Germany, but raised in California, he climbed to the U.S. Youth System right as his dad wrapped up five years leading the senior team from 2011-2016. The U.S. kicks off their World Cup against Paraguay at home on June 12th, then faces

Australia and Turkey in Group D, leaving Klinzman's spot up in. The air as he heals.
