Johnson has been named in the Jamaica squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers.

The games against Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica are being played outside of the usual international breaks, so he will be absent for North End's Championship fixtures against West Bromwich Albion, Bristol City and Millwall.
