France 
Govou is an experienced winger who has been a key member of the Lyon side that has won the last seven Ligue 1 titles.
He has made over 230 appearances during his career at the Stade Gerland and, so far, he has resisted the chance of a move to one of European football's big guns.
At international level, Govou's most memorable moment in a France shirt came when he scored two goals in Les Bleus' 3-1 victory over Italy in September 2006, the first meeting between the sides since the World Cup final in the same year.
Govou made four other appearances in France's qualification campaign for this tournament and he also found the back of the net in the 2-2 draw with Ukraine in Kiev.
With several promising wingers named in squad, such as Samir Nasri and Franck Ribery, Govou faces a huge battle for a spot in France's first XI; however he won't let anyone down if he is called upon.
