Giourkas Seitaridis and Christos Patsatzoglou have proved their fitness to gain inclusion in Greece's 23-man World Cup squad.

German coach Otto Rehhagel had concerns over the pair, with former Porto defender Seitaridis playing just eight league games for Panathinaikos this season while a knee injury kept the versatile Patsatzoglou out of the majority of the World Cup qualifying campaign.

The star of the show in qualifying was Fanis Gekas, with 10 goals, and he has been included in Rehhagel's squad as Greece go in search of their first points and goals in a World Cup finals after three straight defeats in their previous appearance in 1994.
