Germany's Frings ready to start final

---

Vienna, Austria (Sports Network) - Germany midfielder Torsten Frings declared himself fit for Sunday's Euro 2008 Final against Spain on Saturday.

The Werder Bremen midfielder returned for Wednesday's 3-2 semifinal victory over Turkey after missing the last-eight meeting with Portugal with a broken rib.

Frings was a halftime substitute against the Turks but believes he is ready to play a full 90 minutes against Spain in Vienna, should he be required.

"Even in the game against Turkey I had to take a number of blows to my broken rib, but I didn't feel a thing," he claimed. "I am totally ready to play again and get stuck into challenges.

"I don't know if I will be chosen but I am definitely 100 percent ready."
