Germany [Images] captain Michael Ballack [Images] was passed fit to play in Sunday's Euro 2008 [Images] final against Spain after recovering sufficiently from a calf muscle injury.

The 31-year-old midfielder was unable to train on Friday or Saturday because of an inflamed right calf but was named in a Germany team featuring one change from the semi-finals, Torsten Frings coming in for Simon Rolfes as expected.

Spain coach Luis Aragones drafted Cesc Fabregas into the starting lineup in place of striker David Villa [Images] who misses the match because of a thigh injury sustained in the 3-0 win over Russia [Images] in the semi-final.

Fernando Torres will play as a lone striker in a 4-1-4-1 formation with Fabregas joining Xavi, Andres Iniesta and David Silva in midfield and Marcos Senna occupying the holding role in front of the back four.
