A rapid-paced left-wing-back Heinrich was a Champions League winner with Borussia Dortmund in 1997 before he moved to Serie A with AC Fiorentina. Fiercely competitive, Heinrich can be a useful source of goals, particularly when rising high in the opposition box from set-piece moves. Serie A and the Champions League will have provided Heinrich with a valuable technical education which will add a touch of cosmopolitan expertise to a German squad that is otherwise mainly drawn from a domestic pool of players.
