Ji-sung Park has been called up to the South Korean World Cup squad as manager Dick Advocaat named his 23-man squad.

Park is one of three English-based Tottenham full-back Lee Young-pyo, Wolves striker Seol Ki-hyeon.

Argentina coach Jose Pekerman has named Gabriel Heinze among 16 players he will definitely take to the World Cup finals in Germany this summer.

Heinze hasn't played for United's first team since September when he damaged knee ligaments in the Champions League draw with Villarreal.

He returned for the Reds' reserves in April, but a knock in training meant he missed the remaining games of the season. However, being guaranteed his place in Argentina's squad will come as a major boost.

Holland coach Marco van Basten included Edwin van der Sar and Ruud van Nistelrooy in a 28-man provisional World Cup squad.

Tim Howard has been named in Bruce Arena's USA squad, although Jonathan Spector, who spent the season on loan with Charlton, misses out after suffering a dislocated shoulder.

Mikael Silvestre and Louis Saha will be eagerly awaiting the announcement of France's World Cup squad.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Nemanja Vidic (Serbia & Montenegro) are all certaintities to be included in the squads for their respective nations.
