In the line-ups
28 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2002–2014The archive holds 28 team sheets naming Miroslav Klose in Germany's starting line-up, from 2002-06-01 to 2014-07-08.
28 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
