Turkish National team have suffered another blow after UEFA on Monday denied goalkeeper Volkan Demirel's appeal against his two-game suspension.
The decision leaves the already-depleted Terim, without their number one goalkeeper for Wednesday's semi-final meeting with Germany.
Volkan Demirel was sent off in stoppage time of Turkey's dramatic 3-2 Group A victory over Czech Republic after pushing Jan Koller, and missed the quarter-final win over Croatia as a result.
However, he had hoped to get the ban reduced in order to play against Germany.
Turkish National team coach Fatih Terim is facing a battle simply to field a full team on Wednesday night as his list of injuries and suspensions grows.
Nihat Kahveci and Emre Gungor have been ruled out of the tournament, while Servet Cetin, Tumer Metin and Emre Belozoglu are all injured and four players - including Volkan Demirel- are suspended.
