Andrei Arshavin Profile
There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Arshavin's inclusion in this Euro 2008 squad as a two game suspension rules him out of Russia's first two Group D games.
Despite that, his importance to Guus Hiddink's plans means he has made the cut for the final-23 and how he must be regretting his red card six minutes from the end of Russia's narrow 1-0 win against Andorra in their final qualifier. It was a tough punishment for a player who played in all 12 of Russia's ties en-route to these finals, scoring three vital goals.
What they say: 'I was hoping it would only be a one-game ban, but we expect to be challenging in the latter stages of Euro 2008 so hopefully I can still play a part.' Andrei Arshavin.
