Great Britain have it all to do if they are to qualify for the Final Four of the European Volleyball League.

Britain were unlucky to be drawn in the same group as Spain who are the only side to still have a 100 per cent record after four legs (eight matches).

Great Britain are third in their pool with two wins and six losses following their two defeats at the hands of visitors Turkey. However the Turks, who are second in their pool, are essentially not a rival as they will qualify automatically as hosts of the Final Four.

Their final two legs of the group stage will be a trip to Croatia, who are yet to win a match in Pool A, before they host Spain for the crucial final two legs on July 11-12.
