NEW YORK -- Jurgen Klinsmann envisions Landon Donovan returning to the U.S. national team. Hes just not sure when. Back with the Los Angeles Galaxy following a four-month sabbatical, Donovan was bypassed for the American roster for three World Cup qualifiers next month. Klinsmann wont commit to recalling the 31-year-old midfielder for a pair of qualifiers in September. Donovan might be selected for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, when most of the Americans with European clubs will be given time off from the national team. "Well simply take it week by week and month by month," Klinsmann said during a telephone conference call Friday, one day after announcing his 29-man roster. A veteran of three World Cups, Donovan has appeared for the national team 144 times and is the American career scoring leader with 49 goals. Because of injuries, illness and the time off, Donovan has played in just eight of 25 games since Klinsmann replaced Bob Bradley as the U.S. coach in July 2011. Klinsmann has monitored Donovans play with the Galaxy. He has two goals and three assists in six league games since his return on March 30. "Ive seen him kind of catching up. Ive seen him getting a rhythm, getting more games in," Klinsmann said. "I dont see him ready yet to come back in our group, and on the other hand I see guys in our group that are ahead of him in his position or in the different positions he can play at." Seeking their seventh straight World Cup berth, the Americans have exhibitions against Belgium on May 29 in Cleveland, and Germany on June 2 in Washington, D.C., ahead of three qualifiers: at Jamaica on June 7, against Panama four days later in Seattle and versus Honduras on June 18 in Salt Lake City. The United States (1-1-1) is third in the six-nation final round of qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean with four points, one behind Panama (1-0-2) and trailing Costa Rica (1-1-1) on goal difference. Honduras (1-1-1) is behind the U.S. on goal difference, while Mexico (0-0-3) has three points and Jamaica (0-1-2) two. The top three nations qualify for next years tournament in Brazil, and the No. 4 team faces Oceania champion New Zealand in a home-and-home playoff for another berth. Even though Carlos Bocanegra has started seven straight games for Racing Santander in Spains second division after a benching of nearly two months, the former U.S. captain was bypassed by Klinsmann. The coach said Bocanegra has dropped behind Omar Gonzalez, Geoff Cameron, Clarence Goodson and Matt Besler at central defender. "I clearly see Carlos only as a centre back in our roster. I dont see him as a left back, and there we are fully loaded," Klinsmann said. While Michael Parkhursts only games for Augsburg this year were on Feb. 10 and 16, he provides Klinsmann with cover at outside back. Klinsmann does have concern over Parkhurst and midfielder Brek Shea, limited to two substitute appearances with Stoke this year and none at all since March 10. "When players choose to go overseas and challenge themselves, then Im happy with it, but at the same time they need to also break through in Europe or otherwise they will struggle getting back into our picture," Klinsmann said. "An example certainly is Brek Shea. He wanted badly to go there and now didnt get his playing time. So hes kind of on the worst. He needs to figure out how he wants to continue his career." NOTES: While players will start to report to Cleveland on May 26, Roma MF Michael Bradley arrives May 30 after the Italian Cup final against Lazio. Tijuana D Edgar Castillo and MF Joe Corona also are due in May 30 after their Copa Libertadores quarterfinal against Brazils Atletico Mineiro. It is not clear when Santos Laguna F Herculez Gomez, Hoffenheim D Fabian Johnson and MF Danny Williams and Parkhurst will be able to report because of their club commitments. Williams, who hasnt played since March 30, has recovered from injuries and has been training for two weeks, according to Klinsmann. ... MLS players will stay with their teams for games May 26-27 before reporting. ... With Tim Howard the starter in goal and Brad Guzan his backup, Klinsmann will rotate his No. 3 goalkeepers, with Chicagos Sean Johnson in Cleveland, D.C. Uniteds Bill Hamid in Washington, Houstons Toby Hall in Jamaica and Salt Lakes Nick Rimando in Portland and Salt Lake City. Rimando appears to be the U.S. starter for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which has gained in importance because the winner will play the 2015 Gold Cup champion for a berth in the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia. ... Klinsmann might invite Aron Johannsson, a teammate of Jozy Altidore on AZ Alkmaar, for his Gold Cup roster, but the 22-year-old forward also is eligible for Iceland and has played for Icelands Under-21 team. 21:52ET 17-05-13Dallas Cowboys Gear .

PETERSBURG, Fla.If Andy Murray is hoping to avoid becoming involved in politics -- hes not going to be divulging whether he voted for Brexit -- his coach Ivan Lendls views are on the record. The Wimbledon Diary has seen messages that Lendl exchanged with President George Bush Senior, with the correspondence confirming that the former Wimbledon runner-up has long been a Republican voter.Some of the messages were in 1992, at a time when Lendls playing career was coming to an end and when Bush was running for re-election to the White House, a contest that he would lose to Bill Clinton. Archived in the George Bush Presidential Library is a handwritten note that Lendl sent, which reads: Dear Mr President, Samantha [Lendls wife] and I wanted to take a moment to wish you the best of luck during this years presidential campaign. Its my first chance to vote and of course Im voting for you and the Republican Party.Bush replied: The polls stink, but I remain confident of victory. Give Samantha a hug. I still follow your tennis actions closely.Tattoo parlour philosophyLooking for some philosophical insights? Need some life guidance? Then why not come to Wimbledon and read the players tattoos?

John Lloyd, a former Australian Open singles finalist and the ex-husband of ESPN analyst Chris Evert, is on good terms with Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate.
