• Greek midfielder out with injury

  Lisbon, Portugal (Sports Network) - Greece midfielder Stylianos Giannakopoulos is expected to miss Sunday's Group A finale against Russia due to a pulled calf muscle.

  Giannakopoulos limped off the field early in the second half of Greece's 1-1 draw with Spain on Wednesday.

  The loss could prove costly for Greece, which will advance into the quarterfinals with a positive result against Russia. But Giannakopoulos' services will probably not be available in the midfield, and the same goes for midfielder Georgios Karagounis, who has two yellow cards in the competition and will be forced to sit out the match.

  Greece and Spain are currently tied atop Group A with four points apiece. Portugal sits just one point adrift of the leaders, but has a tough matchup with Spain on Sunday. The loser of the Spain/Portugal match will head home as long as Russia can manage at least a draw against a Russian squad currently in shambles.
