Captain Hakan Calhano\u011flu&#8217;s absence further hinders their challenge against Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vincenzo Montella<\/strong>&nbsp;faces a selection challenge ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s match against Spain. The Turkey coach will be without key midfielder&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/player\/h-calhano-lu-130285\">Hakan Calhano\u011flu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Inter Milan midfielder did not travel to Seville, according to &#8216;AS&#8217;, after sustaining a right wrist injury during the match against Bulgaria. Montella has consequently omitted him from the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Montella may opt to rest&nbsp;<strong>Kenan Yildiz, Akturkoglu, and Aydin<\/strong>. All three are one yellow card away from suspension, which would see them miss the subsequent fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/team\/seleccion-turquia\">Turkey<\/a>&#8216;s automatic qualification chances now minimal, and their progression to the play-offs highly probable, Montella is unwilling to risk the availability of these three players for the crucial March fixtures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey&#8217;s automatic World Cup qualification hopes  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1819"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1821,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819\/revisions\/1821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
