Babbel gets recall for Germany
04/03/2005 - 15:15:54

Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel has earned his first call-up to the national team in five years for the friendly away to Slovenia on March 26.

The 32-year-old Stuttgart player is one of 33 players called up for a get-together on the Tuesday and Wednesday before the game to allow head coach Jurgen Klinsmann to decide which 20 to keep for the game.

Babbel’s former Anfield team-mate, Dietmar Hamann, has been also recalled, and he was notified of his inclusion following an impressive goal-scoring display in the 3-1 Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen 10 days ago.

Thomas Hitzlsperger (Aston Villa), Moritz Volz (Fulham), Robert Huth (Chelsea) and Jens Lehmann (Arsenal) are also in the squad.

I hope he create a space in the last 20 for himself. These are his last days on the pitch and he deserves one more national cap.

(What disease? i didnt know that..)

he didn't play for us for us the season after the treble I think it was cos he got some disease of the nervous system. He really never got a look in once he returned and was sold as a result.
