Veteran central defender who won a shock call-up after proving his fitness at a pre-World Cup training camp. The 32-year-old looked set to retire after a number of serious knee problems, but has battled back to take his place in Jurgen Klinsmann's 23-man squad. Made his international bow way back in April 1997 against Ukraine and has nearly 50 international caps to his name. The Bayer Leverkusen stopper missed out on the last World Cup finals and will be desperate to make the most of his unexpected selection.
