Emre to miss Swiss game

Turkey have been dealt a bitter blow in their preparations for tonight's crucial Euro 2008 game with Switzerland, after Newcastle midfielder Emre was ruled out through injury.

Terim, Turkey's boss, confirmed that Emre was set to miss out on the game.

"Unfortunately, Emre is not going to play," said Turkey coach Fatih Terim.

"He wasn't feeling well this morning. He had an MRI and results have shown that there's an oedema of two to three centimetres.

"Not having Emre is a problem for us because his role is not that simple to cover by another player. But then again Switzerland will not have their injured captain Alexander Frei."
