Lukas Podolski closes in on 100 caps

Lukas Podolski is in line to make his 100th appearance for the German national side this evening.

The 27-year-old, who recently joined Arsenal, will reach the landmark should he feature in his nation's final Euro 2012 group encounter against Denmark.

He made his debut back in 2004 as a substitute against Hungary at the age of 19.

Since then, the striker has found the net on 43 occasions at international level.

Having been born in Gliwice, Podolski was also eligible to represent Poland.
