Panathinaikos traveled to Israel on Tuesday (March 10th) at noon, where they will play against Maccabi Haifa in the second round of the Europa League on Thursday (May 10th, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 6 HD and live on Sportish).

The special thing about the green team, the “El. Venizelos” has to do with the fact that Ivan Jovanovic took with him several footballers who are not sure whether they will play, but also some small ones from the B list that he was supposed to replace anyway, some gaps.

Specifically, Vagiannidis, Aitor and Sporar traveled normally with the Panathinaikos team. The first of them has fully recovered from his injury from the game against Ioannina and will be available to the Serbian coach for the game in Israel.

Aitor and Sporar have increased their training pace in recent days, but their presence is still not a given. Jovanovic simply wants to exploit all possibilities.

From there, the two young stoppers Sideras-Prodromitis are on a mission to fill the gaps left in the defense following the injuries to Magnuson and Palmer-Brown, who remained in Athens.

The deployment was also followed by Bilal, who is on the B list, as if Sporar is unable to keep up, and since Geremegev is not on the European list, he will most likely be on the bench.

Finally, Chokai, Zeka and Geremegev, who were not on the list but the 60-year-old coach wanted to be next to the team, also traveled to Israel.

After all, Panathinaikos will stay in Israel for four days as it is expected to return on Friday (6/10), followed by a league game on Sunday (8/10) against Atromitos. That’s why Jovanovic wanted every available footballer with him.

THE Diego Martínez has Olympiakos’ decisive game against Batska Topola on Thursday (October 5th, 7:45 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 4HD, LIVE from Sportish) in the second round of the group stage of the Europa League in its sights. And it is crucial in the sense that with a win the “Red and Whites” take an important step towards their advancement in European competitions and beyond January, be it in the Europa League or the Conference League.

Should Olympiacos get the three points in Serbia, they will move into third place in their group and keep their hopes of second place alive. The Spanish coach reserved Ese and Retso for the game against PAS Ioannina, who are available and will logically return to the Piraeus team. The Argentine midfielder will wear a protective mask and the Greek central defender appears to have overcome adductor problems.

Retsos, along with Doi, will form Olympiakos’ two stoppers as the latest information suggests that Freire has not overcome the muscle injury that has plagued him since the match against PAS Ioannina and led to his substitution at half-time of the game. So Martinez will have Porosos as an alternative solution for central defense.

The Olympiakos players will train in Renti on Wednesday (October 4th) at 11:45 a.m. and at noon the team will “fly” to Serbia. Diego Martinez’s press conference at the TSC Arena is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. and the red and white players will be represented by Sotiris Alexandropoulos.
