Swansea City are continuing their preparations for the 2022/23 season with a training camp at Pennyhill Park.
The Swans used the facility last summer and are spending this week at the plush Bagshot venue in a bid to hit the ground running during pre-season. New signings Nathan Wood, Wasiri Williams and Harry Darling are among those being put through their paces in Surrey at present, although there are several absentees from the camp.
Ryan Bennett has not travelled with the squad amid uncertainty surrounding his future. The defender has been told he can leave the club this summer having been deemed surplus to requirements by Russell Martin.

The 32-year-old is understood to be attracting transfer interest from Championship rivals Reading, although the Royals are currently under a transfer embargo which means they can only sign free agents or loan players.
Ben Cabango is currently on holiday having been granted additional time off to recover from ankle surgery, but he is expected to link-up with his team-mates when they return to Fairwood next week. The Wales international will be eased back into a personal training programme and will need several weeks to build up his fitness before being deemed fit to play.
Ryan Manning and Michael Obafemi did not travel to Pennyhill Park having been on international duty with Republic of Ireland earlier this month, but both are due back in Swansea next week. Brandon Cooper has been on camp after recovering from the knee injury that cut short his loan spell with Swindon Town in March, and Dan Williams is also set to link up with the squad on Wednesday.
Olivier Ntcham is also absent after being away with Cameroon while Under-23s Player of the Season Tivonge Rushesha is continuing his recovery from an ACL injury.
Welshman Williams sustained an ankle injury during his loan stint with Dundalk but is now set to spend the summer with Swansea along with goalkeeper Lewis Webb who is back with his parent club following a spell with Shelbourne. Liam Walsh, Ollie Cooper, Morgan Whittaker, Steven Benda, Liam Cullen and Jordon Garrick are all back on site with the Swans following their own loan spells away last term.
As for the coaching staff, new set-piece guru Andy Parslow has been casting his eye over the Swansea squad in person for the first time this week while under-23s boss Kris O'Leary is in attendance to assist Russell Martin and Matt Gill when it comes to young guns including Cameron Congreve, Azeem Abdulai and Wasiri Williams among others.
Swansea head back to south Wales on Saturday and currently have pre-season fixtures scheduled against Plymouth Argyle (July 12) and Charlton Athletic (July 23).
