Group E
Switzerland – Johan Djourou (Arsenal)
Unlikely to star in north London again, but Djourou is part of a Swiss team expected to do great things this summer under legendary manager Ottmar Hitzfeld.
Ecuador – Antonio Valencia (Manchester United)
A consistent if unremarkable performer for United in recent times, but someone who is likely to be one of his nation’s better players.
France – Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)
It has been a fine season for the Gunners’ central defensive partnership of Koscielny and Per Mertesacker and expect the defender to shine at the World Cup.
Honduras – Maynor Figueroa (Hull City)
It’s not often than Honduras make the tournament, but with a number of well known stars – such as Figueroa – they stand an outside chance of getting out of their group.
