Stelios Back In The Greek Team
Greece will be boosted by the return of Bolton Wanderers midfielder Stelios Giannakopoulos for the Semi Final clash against tournament favourites Czech Republic in Porto on Thursday evening.


The 29-year old winger has missed the Greeks last three matches having picked up a calf injury in the Group A draw against Spain two weeks ago but is now ready to declare his fitness for the tie against a very strong Czech side who completely blew away their Danish opponents in the quarter final win on Sunday evening.

Holland and hosts Portugal contest the other Semi Final clash in Lisbon on Wednesday evening having successfully overcome England and Sweden respectively in the Quarter Finals owing to a penalty shoot out.
