Unsal set to miss Brazil clash

Turkish defender Hakan Unsal is set to miss Wednesday's World Cup semi-final clash against Brazil due to an ankle injury.

Turkey defender Hakan Unsal is set to miss Wednesday's World Cup semi-final clash against Brazil due to an ankle injury.

The Blackburn Rovers star did not play in the quarter-final victory over Senegal on Saturday and has still not shaken off the injury.

"We would need a miracle in order for him (Unsal) to be on the pitch," said Turkish team spokesman Ogan Tarhan.

Unsal also missed Turkey's second group game against Costa Rica through suspension after he was sent off against Brazil in their opening group game for kicking the ball at Rivaldo.
