Turkey Goalkeeper Doubtful for GB Clash


TURKEY may be without their first choice goalkeeper for the clash with Great Britain tonight after she injured her finger in training on Wednesday evening.

18-year-old Berna Zor hyper-extended her middle finger while saving a shot in training at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield on Wednesday. The finger was heavily strapped overnight, but by Thursday morning it had not improved.

Without a doctor or physio Turkey called on the services of Great Britain physio Emily Tyrer to help Zor, who plays club handball with Cankaya Bel. Tyrer suspected the injury was more serious than hoped, and after x-rays at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital she was diagnosed with a small fracture, which will need to be in a splint for six weeks.

Everyone at British Handball wishes Berna a speedy recovery.
