The Portuguese Football Federation have confirmed that Helder Postiga will play no part in the national side's Euro 2012 semi-final encounter due to a thigh injury.

The striker was taken off during Portugal's 1-0 win over the Czech Republic last night.

A statement was released, which said: "Postiga not fit to play in the semi-finals owing to a muscle strain behind the right thigh."

Paulo Bento's side will play the winner of Spain against France in the semi-final, which will go ahead on Saturday.
