Michael Stocklasa looks set to win his 50th cap for Liechtenstein on Saturday after being named in a 19-man squad by Hans-Peter Zaugg for the UEFA EURO 2008™ Group F qualifiers in Iceland and at home to Spain.
Stocklasa milestone
The defender should celebrate his half-century in Reykjavik as he and his team-mates bid to build on a memorable 1-0 win against Latvia in their last qualifier in March. "My 50th match with the national team means a lot, especially as I've had to endure so many injury problems over the last two years," he said. The 26-year-old USV Eschen/Mauren player was part of the side that claimed their country's second-ever victory in UEFA European Championship football.
