Faroes Islands v Turkey U21s - Preview
Both teams go into this afternoon’s match on the back of defeats in their first games at the Four Nations International Handball Tournament in Sheffield.
Turkey Under 21s, who lost 22-13 at the hands of GB on Thursday night, will be boosted by the news that first choice goalkeeper Berna Zor is in contention for a starting place following a finger injury that prevented her from playing in the loss to the hosts.
Zor trained with the team on Friday morning and also took part in the pre-match warm-up.
Meanwhile, Assistant Manager Nilufer Bircan has promised her side will put in an improved performance.
“The next game will be better because we are not very happy,” she said after the defeat to GB. “Our playmakers didn’t play very well and we made very simple faults so we couldn’t win the game.
“We mustn’t play like we did tonight against the Faroe Islands in our next game and it will be better.”
Meanwhile the Faroes, who suffered a tight 23-21 defeat against a physical Latvia side, are injury-free and will be looking to put in a stronger performance.
