Turkish national team manager Fatih Terim has named his squad ahead of key European Championship 2016 games next week.

Terim has called up Barcelona star Arda Turan despite the bearded winger being unable to play at club level due to the FIFA transfer ban.

Former Arsenal youth Oğuzhan Özyakup also returns after a long absence after an impressive start to the season at Beşiktaş.
