This is a weekly post devoted to following up on all the overseas-based footballers who have played for the Philippines. Like what the title stated, this is a recap of games of a team that has a Filipino in the lineup. And again, for him to be included in the tracking process, either he has to have capped for the Philippines or been named to the lineup as a reserve, or has been locked to or agreed to play for us (as with the case of the likes of Kevin Ingreso). So, if you are looking for David Alaba, Jonathan De Guzman and Alphonse Areola, you will not find him here (and in the case of Areola, not yet, anyway).
If you feel that there is a name missing on the list that you would like me to monitor as well, or even correct me on some things, you may do so by emailing me at john.paul.manahan@soccercentral.ph or by tweeting me @misterjpmanahan for anything. You may also write them on the comments page below. Again, do take note they have to qualify to the parameters set above. Major thanks to Wiking for the assist in detailing the info.

Now onto the players:
Neil Etheridge - Fulham (Barclays Premier League)
Not named to the lineup in their 2-1 victory against Stoke, Neil is already getting ready to participate in the final portion of the Middle East training camp. He is expected to be the starter in the final friendly against the Olyroos on the 16th.
Kevin Ingreso - Hambruger SV (1. Bundesliga)
A late game-winner enables Hamburger SV to continue their roll, moving now to a tie for 9th. Kevin was not named in the lineup, however. Up next is Weder Bremen on the 18th.
Stephan Schröck - SpVgg Greuther Fürth (2. Bundesliga)
Stephan started in their 5-1 blowout victory over Paderborn. Johnannes Geis replaced him after 75 minutes. The victory temporarily secured 2. Bundesliga leadership for the Kleeblatt, before ceding it back to Fortuna Düsseldorf after they drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt. They will next face Ingolstadt on the 19th. Apparently, he officially has joined Twitter, and if you have financial capability, his game-worn jersey during the German Cup is part of an auction in the Greuther Fürth website.
Roland Müller - MSV Duisburg (2. Bundesliga)
Suffering a 4-2 defeat against Hansa Rostock, they still maintain a hold on twelth place. St. Pauli is up next on the 17th. Roland has been the starter in both of their matches during the Middle East camp, and remains not included on the 2.Bundesliga lineup.
Dennis Cagara - FSV Frankfurt (2. Bundesliga)
Dennis was not in the lineup that drew 1-1 with Ingolstadt. The point keeps them two points ahead of their opponent. They will face Eintracht Frankfurt on the 18th.
Denis Wolf - 1. FC Magdeburg (Regionalliga Nord)
Due to weather issues, the match against Plauen has been postponed. The move enabled Denis' availability for the Middle East camp. He has already contributed a goal to this cause. Energie Cottbus II is up next on the 17th.
