Center-back crisis in the National Team: Who will play in the Czechia match?

The National Football Team lost 3-0 to Portugal in their second match at EURO 2024.

The national team lost both players who started at center-back in the Portugal match. Abdülkerim Bardakcı is suspended after receiving a yellow card against Portugal. The 29-year-old footballer will not be able to play in the Czechia match.

Additionally, Samet Akaydin was injured during the Portugal match and had to leave the pitch limping. Samet's condition will become clear after further medical checks.

MONTELLA'S OPTIONS

Vincenzo Montella has different options for the center-back position in the absence of Abdülkerim and in the event that Samet cannot play. The Italian manager may choose two from the trio of Merih Demiral, Ahmetcan Kaplan, and Kaan Ayhan for the Czechia match.

If Kaan Ayhan is moved to center-back, the midfield formation will also change for the Czechia encounter.
