Profile:
Serbia & Montenegro will need Ivica Dragutinovic to make key contributions at both ends of the pitch if they are to progress from the group stage at Germany 2006. Equally at home at left-back or in the centre of defence, the 30-year-old is a key member of the 'famous four' defence that conceded just one goal in 10 games during the World Cup qualifying campaign as Ilija Petkovic's team topped their group ahead of Spain. Blessed with genuine pace and the ability to fire over pinpoint crosses, he is also a real danger going forward. Dragutinovic spent 10 years in Belgium with Gent and Standard Liege before joining Sevilla in August 2005, but his first season in Spain was blighted by injuries.
