Pinoy Footballers Abroad - (Jan. 31- Feb. 6)

Stephan Schröck vs Dynamo Dresden

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)

Neil remains as the chief reserve GK to David Stockdale in their 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion, but with the recovery of their main keeper Mark Schwarzer from injury, he was not named in the lineup in their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City. Neil, however, made an appearance as the starting GK in their reserves match against Wolves' Reserves, which they won 1-0.  Up next is Stoke on the 11th for the Cottagers.

Kevin Ingreso - Hambruger SV (1. Bundesliga)

A 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich was a missed opportunity for Thorsten Fink's squad, as they led until late. This was actually the Bundesliga match to be shown locally via AkTV. He was not included in the lineup for this match, though. Up next is Köln on the 12th.

Stephan Schröck - SpVgg Greuther Fürth (2. Bundesliga)
