This can only bode well for the US, as Frankie Simek (pictured above) and Benny Feilhaber both participated in games for their respective clubs this past week. Simek with the Sheffield Wednesday reserves and Benny with AGF Aarhus in a preseason friendly. If they can get healthy and fit, it will only add more depth to the US midfield and defense.

Soccer365 Does My Job For Me
Soccer365 hits us with a bunch of stories today, which makes it much easier for me because now I can take their good work and pass it off as my own (Just kidding guys). First, we have Jared Jeffrey (of Club Brugge and pictured above) looking to make a debut with the first team after just being called into the latest U-20 camp. Second, Benny Feilhaber is close to making his return to practice. Wait does that mean they didn't amputate his leg out of sympathy for the dwindling support that US soccer fans have for the oft-injured player? Finally, Eddie Johnson's career might get a lifeline and he might get some playing time with Swedish club Malmo, after Cardiff City recruited more strikers during the January transfer period.

Feilhaber Rehabbing, Szetela Chilling
Maurice Edu, Michael Bradley, Danny Szetela, and Benny Feilhaber (pictured above) make up the contingent of young American central midfielders that US fans hope will develop into stars for the Red, White, and Blue. The latter two have been getting less of the spotlight as Edu made a big time move to Rangers and Bradley moved to the Bundesliga, but both should still have a bright future with the senior squad. Szetela has been getting significant PT with Brescia in Serie B, while Feilhaber has finally overcome the need for surgery on his bum knee and is close to returning to training. Check out ESPN's piece on Szetela and Yanks Abroad's piece on Feilhaber. Let's hope that Szetela can turn some of that Italian experience into solid contributions with the US and Feilhaber can regain the form and confidence he showed us in the last Gold Cup.

Get Healthy, I Dare You
After searching around on the internet for a few days for some Benny Feilhaber news, Yanks Abroad did my job for me and talked to the young midfielder. It's nice to hear that his recovery is going well, but it seems like a long time ago when people were penciling him in as a MNT starter for years to come. Hopefully he gets his health and his swagger back (He's only 23); there aren't many players that can do what he does in the video above. Let's hope he bounces back like Ronaldinho rather than fade away like John O'Brien.
