Nihat is seriously injured, out for around one month.

Emre Aşık, Arda Turan, Tuncay Şanlı and Volkan Demirel are all injured.

The biggest problem stands with the centre back position. We only have (yes, only) injured Servet left available and some say it would be miraculous if he could play against Germany. I guess if he can't play that day, left back Hakan Balta will be positioned in the centre of the defensive line and Uğur Boral, being awful if he plays there, will play as the left back.

If Turkey can make it through this round, I got nothing to say. We simply don't have a squad there, all broken and shattered.
