The advent of 2D materials like graphene have reignited the interest in the study of the proximity effect in clean hybrid superconducting structures. Here, we present a systematic analysis of the local density of states in a clean 2D normal metal coupled to superconducting leads. By solving the Eilenberger equations in the framework of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity, we are able to describe the impact in the Andreev bound state spectrum of these hybrid systems of, among others, a superconducting phase difference, a finite transmission of the interfaces or the presence of a weak magnetic field. Our results shed light on recent experiments on the Andreev bound states in graphene-based hybrid superconducting structures.
