Portugal striker Helder Postiga will miss next Wednesday's European Championship semifinal against France or Spain after injuring his right thigh.
Postiga was taken off the field on a stretcher in the first half of Portugal's 1-0 quarterfinal win over the Czech Republic on Thursday.
The Portuguese Football Federation said on its website Friday that Postiga would be out for the semifinals in Donetsk, Ukraine.
The 29-year-old forward was Portugal's second-highest scorer in Euro 2012 qualifying with five goals. He and Cristiano Ronaldo are the only two players remaining from Portugal's Euro 2004 squad.
