Few things I noticed:

- No Dempsey (are there any US internationals on?)
- Don't think I saw Schwarzer, could be due to internationals.
- Loads of pictures of Burn with the first team, as well as Donegan and Hoesen (?), and other youth who were involved last season in Frei, Kaca, Trotta, Kasami, Briggs.

I think it's Alex Smith you are mistaking for Hoesen.

Presuming Dempsey is involved with USA then the American players aren't back from World Cup qualifiers.

US has a friendly in Mexico on the 15th. I don't think the camp has opened as yet. Could be a bad sign or perhaps the team thought it pointless to bring him in for a day or two amd then be off to play the Mexicants.

The USMNT were active during the player's holidays so I presume he was granted a few days more to rest.

player on the far right (#33) is definitely Hoesen.

Can't believe that Halliche is still there. Unbelievable that he's still on our books.

notable absentees are Duff, Dempsey, Ruiz, Schwarzer, Senderos and potentially Grygera...

Still need to make quite a few solid signings - couldn't help but think Petric would be looking around going - woops , wrong move! There's hardly anyone in the photo's who's senior, or at least it seems that way in comparison to the amount of young players.

Dan Burn looks like a beast.

That U.S friendly is on Aug. 15.

Dempsey doesn't have to report as early as he's been granted extra rest from his U.S. committments in early June.

Helloooo
It says it all on the web page just above the pictures

New signings Mladen Petric and Sascha Riether got to know their Fulham team mates for the first time, although there was no Clint Dempsey, Mark Schwarzer or Damien Duff as the trio have been allowed additional rest days following their international commitments over the summer.

Interesting that Kelly is not mentioned....

Kelly didn't get a minute in EURO2012, whereas Duff started. Dempsey and Schwarzer were ever-present in their WC qualifiers.

I believe Dempsey is in North Carolina with his wife and in-laws.

Yes, just strange that he is neither back already or mentioned as not being there due to international commitments.

Plus no announcement of a new contract
