Hungary have named a provisional 30-man squad for UEFA EURO 2016.
Bernd Storck has included four goalkeepers, though Liverpool's Ádám Bogdán does not make the cut. Elsewhere, Under-21 internationals Gergő Kocsis, Barnabás Bese, Roland Sallai and Máté Vida have been selected despite not having a senior cap between them.
There are nine forwards, including the injured trio of Balázs Dzsudzsák, Krisztián Németh and Tamás Priskin, all of whom will be hoping to be fit for their country's opener on 14 June.
"We have a few small difficulties in that for the time being Tamás Priskin and Krisztián Németh are injured and the German league's play-offs mean that Zoltán Stieber and László Kleinheisler will be missing until the second part of the training camp," said Storck. "We hope we can count on every player being in good physical condition in Austria and the team can avoid further injuries during the preparations."
Around eight to ten players will convene with Storck and his staff when they begin training next week, with the rest to follow when club duties are over for the season. There will be a camp in Austria from 10 to 18 May, with a second taking place between 26 and 28 May when Storck will name his final 23.
