Turkish defender Ozan Kabak will miss the European Championship after suffering a knee ligament injury during a friendly against Italy, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) said on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old centre back, who plays for Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, left the field on a stretcher during the first half as Türkiye held Italy to a goalless draw in Bologna.

Türkiye play Poland in a friendly on Monday before starting their Group F campaign against Georgia in Dortmund on June 18.
