Warsaw: Portugal striker Helder Postiga is out of the remaining Euro 2012 owing to thigh strain he suffered during the quarter-final with the Czech Republic, Polish website Sport.pl reported.
Postiga, Portugal’s first-choice centre-forward, was carried off after pulling up late in the first half against the Czechs in Warsaw, Reuters reported.
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
