external crystal for timer 2 in atmega32

In atmega32, I want to simulate the external source for timer 2 (coming from a crystal 32KHz) but i cannot find a way to do it since there is no crystal component. any ideas?

Hi.

Maybe you can use a Clock source:

it does not work since the crystal should be connected to 2 pins on the controller TOSC1 and TOSC2. not a clock source

I had a look and asynchronous mode for Timer 2 is not supported by now.
