Vincenzo Montella's men are into the knockout stages following a controversial 2-1 win over Czech Republic, but that success came at a cost: captain Hakan Calhanoglu and defender Samet Akaydin both picked up their second bookings of the tournament and must now serve suspensions.

In better news for the Crescent-Stars' Italian coach, Galatasaray centre-back Abdulkerim Bardakci returns from a one-match ban and should replace Akaydin against Austria, most likely partnering Merih Demiral.

Meanwhile, at least three very different midfielders are in contention to deputise for Inter Milan star Calhanoglu: Okay Yokuslu and Kaan Ayhan offer Montella more defensive options, but Benfica playmaker Orkun Kokcu may also be considered.

Allaying fears that back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir would have to be called upon again - after the Manchester United reserve made an appearance in last week's 3-0 loss to Portugal - first-choice stopper Mert Gunok has been able to train despite still carrying a knee problem.

Despite facing stiff competition from Kerem Akturkoglu, Yusuf Yazici and Irfan Can Kahveci - the latter of whom is now fit to start following an injury - teenage pair Kenan Yildiz and Arda Guler could again be trusted to support Turkey's lone striker.

Ex-Everton striker Cenk Tosun scored the late winner last time out, and it appears to be a straight battle with Baris Alper Yilmaz for selection up front.

Turkey possible starting lineup: Gunok; Muldur, Demiral, Bardakci, Kadioglu; Yuksek, Yokuslu; Kahveci, Guler, Yildiz; Yilmaz
