Vryzas returns for Greece

Greece go into their Euro 2004 semi-final with a full strength side
Greece go into their Euro 2004 semi-final with a full strength side

Greece coach Otto Rehhagel will have the services of Zisis Vryzas at his disposal for  the Euro 2004 semi-final with the Czech Republic after he missed the quarter-final win over France through suspension.

Vryzas is expected to join goal hero Angelos Charisteas in attack with Demis Nikolaidis the man likely to make way for the Fiorentina hitman.

Stelios Giannakopoulos is fit again and could come into midfield, with Angelos Basinas the most likely to make way.

Skipper Theo Zagorakis and Georgios Karagounis must be careful, however, as they will miss the final if Greece get there and they are cautioned against the Czechs.

Karagounis should be fit even though he has been given a reduced training programme because of an injury to his left foot.

Probable Greece team:

Nikopolidis
Seitaridis
Dellas
Kapsis
Fyssas
Giannakopoulos
Karagounis
Zagorakis
Katsouranis
Charisteas
Vryzas
