Eduardo to sit out Wisła showdown

FC Basel 1893 will be without striker Eduardo and possibly defender Koji Nakata too for Thursday night's must-win UEFA Cup Group E match at Wisła Kraków.

Cost of Zurich defeat
The 27-year-old Brazilian replaced Nakata during Basel's 3-2 defeat at FC Zürich on Sunday but had to be substituted after just eight minutes when he pulled up with a thigh strain. Japanese international Nakata, meanwhile, is also uncertain to start the game in Poland after fracturing his nose at the weekend. The 27-year-old was struck in the face by a close-range shot and had to leave the field with a nose bleed. Basel, who are second from bottom in Group E with two points from three matches, need a win against bottom-placed Wisła to stand any chance of progressing to the last 32.
