Hargreaves picked up a stomach upset after England's match with Switzerland on Thursday and it was feared he would miss tonight's crunch Group B match with Croatia.

However, having worked through the night with Team Doctor Leif Sward, Hargreaves has recovered to take his place on the bench.

The Bayern Munich midfielder has proven himself to be a very valuable member of Head Coach Sven-Göran Eriksson's squad, coming on in both England's first two matches at Euro 2004 so far.
