Leicester midfielder Muzzy Izzet is fighting to be fit for tonight's Euro 2000 Group B match with cohosts Belgium in Brussels.

Izzet, who made his first start for Turkey against Sweden in midweek, hobbled off after an hour with an ankle injury and he said: 'There is a lot of bruising around the ankle. I am just trying to rest up and keep it elevated.'

Turkey have only a slim chance of going through to the quarter-finals after picking up one point from two games. But they took heart from the 0-0 draw against Sweden and believe they can upset Belgium.

They must not be underestimated and are capable of giving anyone a game on their day as Germany found out in the qualifying campaign when Turkey won 1-0 at home and drew 0-0 away against the European champions.

'We know we need a victory to have any chance of going through,' added Izzet. 'We feel we have the beating of Belgium.'

Meanwhile, Belgium coach Robert Waseige gave his squad a day off yesterday.
