Bayern Munich wing-back Lahm has emerged as a regular in the Germany squad in recent times, having come to prominence during a two-year loan spell with VfB Stuttgart. He returned to Bayern at the start of the current campaign, as he recovered from a serious knee injury and has helped the Bavarian giants retain their Bundesliga crown. Played all three games as Germany flopped at Euro 2004, having made his international debut in February of the same year against Croatia. The 22-year-old usually plays on the left, but is two-footed and can fill in on the other flank.
