Turkey set to write off Unsal and Sukur for Brazil semi

First Published: Jun 24, 2002

Turkey defender Hakan Unsal is their main injury worry heading into Wednesday's World Cup semi final against Brazil.

The centre back missed the quarter final win over Senegal with sore knee ligaments and is yet to train with the squad.

Striker and captain Hakan Sukur is succumbing to a thigh strain which has hampered him in every game at the finals so far partially accounting for his dismal form for the side.

Turkey manager Ogan Tarhan said the striker had been receiving treatment for the injury at half-time in every match so far but may play some part agianst Brazil who defeated Turkey 2-1 in their opening game at the finals three weeks ago.
