Austria captain Marc Janko and midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic added to the team's injury woes after they were ruled out of Tuesday's 2012 European Championship qualifier in Turkey.

Janko injured his left shoulder and Junuzovic hurt his left ankle during Austria's 2-0 defeat to Belgium on Friday.

The Austrian football federation said Sunday that neither player will recover in time for the Turkey game.

Earlier, defender Franz Schiemer was ruled out due to a sore thigh muscle.
