Striker back for Greece

Zisis Vryzas is expected to return to the Greece attack alongside Angelos Charisteas up front for tomorrow’s Euro 2004 semi-final with the Czech Republic at the Estadio do Dragao.

Vyrzas, suspended for the quarter-final with France, should come back in for Demis Nikolaidis who played in an attacking midfield role against the French and is set to return to the bench.

Coach Otto Rehhagel must also decide whether to restore the fit-again Stelios Giannakopoulos to his starting line-up with either Konstantinos Katsouranis or Angelis Basinas likely to make way should the German coach decide to play the Bolton man from the start.

Georgios Karagounis is expected to play despite an injury to his left foot but - like skipper Theo Zagorakis – knows he will miss the final – if Greece get there – if he is cautioned.

Probable team: Nikopolidis; Seitaridis, Dellas, Kapsis, Fyssas; Basinas, Karagounis, Zagorakis, Giannakopoulos (or Katsouranis); Charisteas, Vryzas
