Turkish National Team star Hamit Altıntop is out of this weekend's match against Spain, according to team officials. The Bayern Munich star was injured recently in Bundesliga play and could potentially miss both World Cup qualifying matches against Spain.
Altıntop suffered an injury two weeks ago in a game agaist Hannover 96. Turkish National Team medical staff originally thought he would be able to compete this weekend, but Coach Fatih Terim has ruled him out for Saturday's match.
The Bayern star underwent medical tests and evaluations after arriving in Spain, but team doctors said he would not be fully fit before Saturday. Altıntop will now return to Germany and continue his recovery with Bayern Munich medical staff.
Turkish medical staff are expected to communicate with Bayern doctors throughout the week to decide if Hamit Altıntop will be available for next week's match. A decision on his status for that match is expected to be made in the coming days.
