PARIS - Coach Fatih Terim says a lack of playing time this season will not hamper captain Arda Turan when Turkey play Croatia in Euro 2016 Group D on Sunday, his team's first match at a major tournament in eight years.

Terim, in his third stint in charge, has overseen a dramatic improvement in Turkey's form as they recovered from collecting a single point in their opening three qualifiers to advance to the finals in France.
