Portugal striker Helder Postiga
will miss the rest of Euro 2012 with a thigh strain sustained in
the quarter-final win over the Czech Republic, leading Polish
website Sport.pl reported, citing the results of a scan at the
team's base in western Poland.
Postiga, Portugal's first-choice centre-forward, was carried
off after pulling up late in the first half against the Czechs
in Warsaw.
Portugal will face the winners of Saturday's quarter-final
between France and Spain in the first semi-final on Wednesday.
The Portuguese Football Federation had already said Postiga
would miss the semi-final. He was replaced against the Czechs by
Hugo Almeida.
