Greek Superleague : Matchday 8
Saturday 29th October - 7.30pm
Giorgos Karaiskaki Stadium
The team is playing early as we have the game against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night, however we need to win this game to keep ourselves at the top of the league.
For the players, we look to be missing Vassilis Torosidis, Ljubimir Fejsa and Fran Yeste as they continue to recover from personal injury problems. All three players have not started team training yet (still undergoing personal training) and will not be ready for this weekend. In addition to this Avraam Papadopoulos and Giorgos Valerianos are down and out with a cold virus. Both players have also not been training this week (not even personal training) so it's fair to say that they'll definitely be missing the game.
The referee team has been appointed for the game though, we get :-
Thursday update :-
Ljubimir Fejsa has begun full training today and may well be ready for this weekend now. The chances are that he will not play and instead will be saved for the Dortmund match but at least he is available. Yeste and Torosidis are following personal training but will not be ready for this weekend, there is a chance that both players will be available for Dortmund. Fuster is also out of course (with cracked ribs) and will not be ready for either game.
Avraam Papadopoulos started team training today after being given clearance from the team doctor. He now has a race for time to be match ready but can be classed as 50/50 for the game.
Rafiq Djebbour was feeling some twinges in his knee after training. More likely than not he will be available for the game though.
In training on Friday, Vasilis Torosidis began full team training and seems to have overcome his injury. Fran Yeste also took part in the training although both players were not selected in the team of 18 players selected for the game.
So only David Fuster is considered injured now as even Avraam Papadopoulos made the squad.
The squad announced is :-
