Atiba Charles is a powerful and pacy defender - he used to be a sprinter - who has forced his way into the World Cup squad with some impressive performances in qualification.

He was immense in the crucial 0-0 draw with Costa Rica and could establish himself as first choice with a good tournament in Germany.

Charles had trials with Premiership side Wigan last year, but continues to make his living in Trinidad and Tobago with W Connection.
