Position: Midfielder
Born: 22.05.85
Club: St Gallen

The back injury that caused Johann Lonfat to pull out of Switzerland's squad for Euro 2004 gave Barnetta a late opportunity to travel to Portugal.

At just 19 the midfielderwill travel to the tournament without a full international cap to his name.

Barnetta has been called up from the Switzerland side who recently competed in the European Under-21 Championship.

Though the Swiss side went out at the group stage, Barnetta did find the net in the 3-1 defeat to Sweden.

Having been with St Gallen since he was a boy, Barnetta attracted the interest of Bayer Leverkusen and will join the Bundesliga club following Euro 2004.
