Profile:

Recently voted his country's player of 1999 and one of the best three players ever to represent Romania, Petrescu will be a familiar face in the side this summer.

One of the finest exponents of the right wing-back role, his experience makes him a valuable member of Ienei's squad.

A veteran of three major finals - England fans will remember his decisive winning goal at France 98 - he has also enjoyed vast success at club level throughout his career at Steaua Bucharest, Genoa, Foggia, Sheffield Wednesday and Chelsea.

Substituted in the second-half against Germany.

Hard a large part in Romania's dogged defence and was unlucky to be on the losing side.

Was a menace against England and his cross led to Chivu's goal in Romania's 3-2 win over England.
