Rustu set to come into team to face Croatia

Turkey goalkeeper Volkan Demirel has received a two-match ban for his sending off against Czech Republic. Volkan was dismissed during injury-time of the stunning 3-2 win over the Czechs for pushing giant striker Jan Koller to the ground. He has now been ruled out of Friday's quarter-final with Croatia and will also be suspended for the semi-final, if Turkey reach the last four. Veteran shot-stopper Rustu Recber is expected to come into the team for Volkan against Croatia. Meanwhile, Uefa have fined the Turkish Football Association 27,190 euros (£21,585) due to the improper conduct of supporters, players and officials in the game with the Czechs.
