Turkish international striker Burak Yılmaz revealed that the absence of Arda Turan is going to be a big miss against Netherlands.

Turkey take on Netherlands in a Euro 2016 group stage qualifier on March 28.

“Arda is a key player in the team, he is going to be a big miss for us but I still believe we can win,” Yılmaz was quoted as saying by Eurosport TR.

Turan is suspended after picking up a booking in the Kazakhstan game for simulation. The 28-year-old is one of the most experienced players in the Turkish national team.
