Position: Midfielder
Born: 30.03.79
Club: Shakhtar Donetsk

Dynamic Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Anatoliy Tymoschuk will have to be on song if Ukraine have any designs on making it past the group stage.

He joined Shakhtar from FC Volyn Lutsk in 1997 and has since become a key performer for both club and country.

The 26-year-old has a keen eye for goals from midfield, and missed only one game in his side's qualification campaign.

Tymoschuk is currently being chased by a host of clubs, and a good performance in Germany could earn him a move to one of Europe's top leagues.
