EURO team camps latest: 30 May

UEFA EURO 2012 begins in little more than a week and all 16 finalists are applying the finishing touches to their pre-tournament preparations. UEFA.com has reporters assigned to every team involved who will provide daily updates from the camp.

Germany (Steffen Potter, @UEFAcomSteffenP)
Germany's final friendly takes place against Israel in Leipzig on Thursday. Joachim Löw has already confirmed he will field Philipp Lahm at left-back, though insists this does not necessarily mean he will do likewise in Germany's opener against Portugal. FC Bayern München's Lahm played a key role in subduing Real Madrid CF's Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals but is not bound to be asked to perform a similar role against Portugal.
"In Poland, I will decide where Lahm plays," said Löw. "But I want a decision independent of where he played for Bayern, and it makes no sense to put one player against Ronaldo. Three or four players have to stop him. I don't want one-on-ones with him." Should Lahm play right-back, Marcel Schmelzer is likely to play on the left, while Jérôme Boateng or Benedikt Höwedes are possible beneficiaries if Lahm is put on the opposite flank.
France (Matthew Spiro, @UEFAcomMattS)
The remaining 23 France players have been sparing their thoughts for Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Yoann Gourcuff after the pair were cut from the provisional UEFA EURO 2012 squad by Laurent Blanc on Tuesday. After learning of their fate in the morning, both players remained behind to eat lunch with the squad at their base in Le Touquet before going their separate ways.
"I immediately went to see Mapou in his room when I heard," said fellow Montpellier Hérault SC player Olivier Giroud. "He was disappointed but he understood." Mathieu Debuchy was philosophical, saying: "It's a shame we had to lose them but everybody knew the rules." Les Bleus make the short trip to Reims tomorrow morning for their second warm-up match against Serbia.
Russia (Richard Van Poortvliet, @UEFAcomRichVP)
There has been much soul searching in the camp after Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Lithuania in Nyon. Despite enjoying the lion's share of possession, Russia failed to create many opportunities. However, coach Dick Advocaat is not reading too much into it. "This happens in friendlies," the Dutchman said. "Last week the Netherlands struggled against Bulgaria."
Next up is a final warm-up game against Italy on Friday. "The game with Italy will be completely different and the players won't need motivating when playing such opponents," he added. "The players understand that if they don't give a 100% against Italy, we will lose." There was some good news, though, with key midfielder Roman Shirokov expected to train today despite being substituted following a slight knock.
Republic of Ireland (Garry Doyle, @UEFAcomGarryD)
Shay Given (knee) and John O'Shea (calf and ankle) have been told to play against Hungary on Monday if they want to feature against Croatia in Ireland's opening Group C game on 10 June. "We have to know they are ready," said coach Giovanni Trapattoni.
One man who was set for a holiday in Marbella but is now readying himself for the tournament is Paul McShane. Omitted from the original 23-man squad, McShane's promotion comes at the hands of the unfortunate Kevin Foley, who has been relegated from certain traveller to the stand-by list and travels home today. "It's hugely disappointing," said Foley, "and feels like a kick in the stomach. But of course I wish the lads well." None more so than the popular McShane, who said: "When your country comes calling, you drop everything to come and play."
Greece (Vassiliki Papantonopoulou, @UEFAcomVassP)
Greece are getting ready for their friendly against Armenia in Kufstein on Thursday – their final game before heading back home on Friday and then to Warsaw on Sunday. Vassilis Torossidis (knee) will not be involved against Armenia but Sotiris Ninis (shoulder) is expected to feature. Torossidis's absence means Santos is likely to field Kyriakos and Avraam Papadopoulos in central defence and Sokratis Papastathopoulos at right-back.
Dimitris Salpingidis, meanwhile, already has his sights set on Greece's opening match against Poland. "They have a good team and quality players, but we don't need to be overwhelmed by them, by the occasion, or by the fact they will have the crowd on their side," he said. "We must focus on our own performance, to play well and kick off our tournament on the right foot."
Czech Republic (Ondřej Zlámal, @UEFAcomOndrejZ)
Coverage continues to focus on the importance of playmaker Tomáš Rosický, who made Tuesday's final 23-man squad despite doubts over his fitness. With the Czechs' training sessions closed to the media, the Arsenal FC man himself gave an update on his recovery. "I joined the other boys in certain parts of the training session and it looked good," he said. "Since my injury I have been able to play with the ball and to kick it without problems."
Despite that positive prognosis, though, the 32-year-old is unlikely to be involved in the final friendly against Hungary on Friday. "I am not afraid of the break in playing," he said. "On the contrary, it can help me a bit as I played a lot this season. I believe everything will be OK."
Denmark (Thomas Mark, @UEFAcomThomasM)
Expectations surrounding 20-year-old midfielder Christian Eriksen remain sky-high, with the hope among fans that the AFC Ajax man can offer a different dimension to Denmark's attacking play. This creates inevitable pressure on Eriksen but the retired Jon Dahl Tomasson believes he can cope. "I don't think he'll struggle with more responsibility," Tomasson told newspaper BT. "He's as cold as ice. His mind is good and he's already handling the pressure at Ajax." The youngest player at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Eriksen is certainly well versed in dealing with such a burden.
Sweden (Sujay Dutt, @UEFAcomSujayD)
Sweden step up their preparations with another friendly this evening. The Iceland team visiting Gothenburg will have a familiar face in the dugout in the shape of long-time Sweden coach Lars Lagerbäck, who was asked in advance of the game where he thinks the talismanic Zlatan Ibrahimović is best deployed – as an out-an-out striker or as a playmaker. "I think Sweden might do best with him in a free role," was Lagerbäck's advice.
Erik Hamrén looks set to do just that, with Ibrahimović in behind lone striker Markus Rosenberg. Four Sweden players with injuries of varying severity – Anders Svensson, Johan Elmander, Mikael Lustig and Martin Olsson – are likely to be rested this evening.

United: Kagawa deal not about shirts

Manchester United commercial director Richard Arnold insists the club are not looking to sign Japan playmaker Shinji Kagawa simply to sell shirts.

GettyImagesShinji Kagawa: Bound for Old Trafford?

Kagawa is reportedly close to moving from Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford on a €15 million transfer, which could rise to €22 million with add-ons. Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke fuelled speculation further on Tuesday evening, telling Derwesten: "Both sides want to conclude the deal."
Meanwhile, United's South Korean midfielder Park Ji-Sung may exit the club this summer, sparking talk the club are looking to the sign Kagawa to boost brand recognition throughout Asia. Arnold, though, believes United's individual players do not drive the club's off-field profitability.
"We don't sign players to sell shirts." Arnold said. "We are reliant on 25 players and they are all massive stars. We have 25 George Clooneys.
"When you look at the success we've seen in that part of the world [Asia], it isn't down to any one player or person. Of course, Ji is a fantastic player, was captain of the South Korea team and continues to be a key part of our squad.
"But for Manchester United, it's more than any one player. It was more than George Best, it was more than Bryan Robson, it was more than David Beckham, it was more than Cantona, than Park.
"Ji is very popular in Korea, just as Javier Hernandez is hugely popular in Mexico, but Paul Scholes has his own Chinese character. These are huge stars and the big stars are the big stars in every country. Our games are shown 1.1 billion homes across the globe and you think 'which film does that 60 times a year?'
"Be it George Clooney or Brad Pitt, what is there where that is shown? There just isn't anything like it."
