BASEL, June 24 (Reuters) - Turkey captain Emre Belozoglu is still unfit and will not play in Wednesday's Euro 2008 semi-final against Germany, coach Fatih Terim said.
Emre suffered a hamstring tear following the opening group defeat by Portugal and had been rated 50/50 to recover in time for the Basel match.
"With Emre, it's impossible for him to play," the coach told a news conference on Tuesday, adding that Tumer Metin, who has a groin strain, may be able to play for the last 30 minutes.
Turkey have four suspended for the semi-final and three others injured apart from Emre and Tumer.
