Club: Bayern Munich

Profile:

Bayern's ever-reliable keeper has taken on the mantle of German number one since Andreas Kopke's departure from the international scene. Celebrates his birthday on June 15, two days before his side meet England in Charleroi.

Made six starts in qualifying, but will be aware of Lehmann's presence on the bench and will hope to stay fit for the entirety of Germany's tournament.

Fans' favourite Kahn is well known for his fiery temparament and has been booked several times for stupid fouls.

He is probably best known for being on the receiving end of Manchester United's comeback of comebacks in the 1999 European Cup Final.

Let in an early goal against the Romanians but was not at fault. Unlikely to lose his place over it. Also conceded but was left exposed by his defenders.

Usually Mr reliable, as he proved by his great performance against England. However, was all over the place against Portugal making some real blunders as Germany slumped to a 3-0 defeat.
