Turkish National Team striker Nihat Kahveci will miss the rest of Euro 2008 with a thigh injury, the Turkish Football(soccer) Federation has confirmed.
Nihat injured his thigh just minutes before the end of the game in Friday's penalty shoot-out win over Croatia in Vienna.
The 28-year-old made a name for himself when he scored twice late on in Turkey's remarkable comeback win over the Czech Republic which saw them qualify from Group A.
Turkish National Team have been crippled by injuries and suspension, with nine first choice players unavailable for the semi-final against Germany.
Coach Fatih Terim is so short of options, he has said he might be forced to ask reserve keeper Tolgan Zengin to play outfield.
