Terim has named a 27-man squad that have joined a training camp along the Mediterranean coast to prepare for friendlies against Slovakia, Uruguay and Finland before the European Championships this summer in Austria and Switzerland.
The boss will trim four players from the squad down to 23 before the finals, as they look to compete in a group with Portugal, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
Gokhan Gonul of Fenerbahce has a foot injury, as does Bayern Munich's Hamit Altintop, but they have both made the provisional squad. 37-year-old national hero Hakan Sukur, though, could not make the list.
