The much-maligned Bayern Munich midfielder has been a regular in Sven-Goran Eriksson's squads since making his international debut in the friendly defeat to Holland in August 2001. The Canadian-born 25-year-old is renowned for his versatility and was included in Eriksson's squads for the last World Cup and Euro 2004. However, his role in Germany is likely to be restricted to cameo appearances from the substitute's bench unless injuries decimate England's midfield options. Hargreaves has spent the last nine years with Bayern and has a wealth of Champions League experience with the Bundesliga giants.
