Team news
A reminder of the team news for both sides as we approach the announcement of the line-ups.
While captain Hakan Calhanoglu returns after a suspension, Turkey will be without Demirial because of his ban, and midfielders Orkun Kokcu and Ismail Yuksek are both suspended. Eight more Turkish players — including Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz — are in danger of missing the next match if booked. No Dutch players are suspended, while Denzel Dumfries, Joey Veerman, Jerdy Schouten and Donyell Malen will hope to avoid any yellow cards that rule them out of a potential semifinal. Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman said on Friday he will need to make a late fitness call on defender Nathan Ake, who injured a knee in the win over Romania. “He did take part in the training. So we are waiting (to see) how he will feel tomorrow, whether he can play,” Koeman said.
Koeman may decide to revert his experiment of starting Steven Bergwijn and instead play Donyell Malen, who came on at half time.

Koeman wary of Turkey threat in quarter-final
Koeman warned, however, that Turkey would be a tougher proposition.
”This is a different opponent with different qualities. They have played with four at the back, but also with five. Just like the Romanians, they showed a lot of heart in how they play. But we are more worried about ourselves.
”We are playing in Berlin for a semi-final, a great opportunity to progress even further in the tournament. But we’re not just going to romp to a win, that certainly won’t be the case. It’s going to be a very difficult game,” he told Friday’s pre-match press conference.
Koeman said he felt Turkey would offer his side space to exploit. We’ve just got to be patient with the ball and keep possession,“ he said.
“The Turks are very enthusiastic and good on the ball. They have also seen us against Romania and will probably look to have our measure.”
Koeman said it had not been an easy tournament for the fancied sides. ”All the big teams have struggled at different times. England needed a late goal to survive, Portugal went through on penalties. You have to fight all the way.”
The Netherlands will give Steven Bergwijn a late fitness test as he struggles with a knee injury, but Koeman said key defender Nathan Ake was fit to play after battling with niggles over the last few days.

Ronald Koeman confident after beating Romania in style
Netherlands’ comprehensive win over Romania in their last match at the European Championship has given them a large dollop of confidence ahead of their quarter-final tie against Turkey on Saturday, coach Ronald Koeman said on the eve of the clash.
The Dutch enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 victory in their round of 16 game to show a major improvement after squeezing through the first phase in third position in their group.
”It shouldn’t be that we need a defeat to spark a good performance and come out of our shell,” said Koeman of the triumph over Romania, which followed a 3-2 loss to Austria.
”But we created a lot of chances and showed a lot of speed up front. It was good game even if the opponent gave us a lot of room.”

Daley Blind warns the Netherlands of a hostile crowd in their semi-final
Daley Blind was speaking to the media earlier and told reporters that he thinks tonight’s game “will be an away match”. He added that “the Turks will be there en masse”,
“They are passionate, it will be an emotional match. We have to be on guard, we will have to be well prepared.
““They will probably make a lot of noise – we should not be surprised by that,” continued Blind, who plays for Girona at club level.
“The trick is to put the right emotion and passion into it on the pitch, but also choose to use good positional play at times to silence them.”
Blind also added that the Dutch had been lucky with the draw compared to some other countries, having faced Romania in the last 16.
“We have been pretty lucky after the group stage, there’s no need to deny that,” the former Manchester United and Ajax defender said.
“Look at the opponents of other countries... but on the other hand, smaller countries make it hard for the bigger ones.”
