The winger suffered the excruciating problem during Thursday’s session with the Championship club.
And after being rushed to hospital, the 23-year-old had it removed.
Johnson revealed on Friday: “What a bunch of b******s.
“Not my best Thursday ever with the exploded old testicle during training. Had it removed last night.
“Come back soon, just a little lighter and as the saying goes, Rugby League wins again.”
Despite his pain and the surgery, Johnson sees the funny side of his problem.
He even had a cheeky question after his trauma.
He added, perhaps hopefully, “PS continues the swelling? Ask for a friend.”
