Europa League
Almeida’s quiver is strengthened, but with two question marks in the face of Ajax
AEK play their replacement roles for the continuation of their European tour in Amsterdam, with Matias Almeida seeing his deck filled but waiting for Sergio Araújo and Jens Jonsson. The data up to the specific match.
There will be no action for AEK this weekend as the referees have decided to abstain due to the threats Tasos Papapetrou has received against himself and his family. Your attention therefore turns to the game against Ajax in Amsterdam on the last matchday of the Europa League groups.
The Union will make one last attempt to continue their European journey in the Conference League and fight for two results at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Although the draw would be one of the “sweetest” in history, he will never play for that result with Matias Almeida.
Instead, they will fight for victory, even though Ajax have been promoted and, with Van Sip, are much better than the team that was presented at the OPAP Arena. Be that as it may, this is a very historic team that has the know-how in such situations and, in this case, has the blessing to play this final at home.
Almeida will have more solutions at his disposal regarding the game with Aris, as Levia Garcia and Kostas Galanopoulos have returned and are training at full speed (Cullens is also back but is not counted for the game with Ajax), but he also expects others to return back, not counting Cican Stankovic.
The two main question marks regarding Ajax and the “disruption” of the weekend
Sergio Araujo and Jens Jonsson remain on the pitch for AEK at the moment and whether these players will be available, including as substitutes from the bench, will be seen at the weekend, perhaps even on Monday, especially because the Almeida are fielding players who are available are 100% accurate.
Their presence in this particular game is crucial because they are two footballers who play a crucial role in Matias Almeida’s football plan, and not that they are the only crucial footballers. Given the interruption, AEK will complete two training sessions at the weekend at full intensity and speed and clarify there.
George Athanasiadis, who, as he recently explained, never gives up and wants to help the team again like he did last year when AEK won the double, will of course return to the ceiling. It would have been lucky for him to have played a game ahead of Ajax, but it won’t be the first time he’s been caught in the deep end. He did it again and even swam with AEK and Sherif, who started on a year-long loan.
AEK will have more time to prepare for this game than Ajax, giving AEK’s Argentine coach more time. The “price” for this in this case will be a lack of competitive speed. The Union will play a game after ten days for the first time this year, as it has started playing two games a week for good.
According to the original schedule, there were two games between the game with Aris for the championship and Ajax in Amsterdam, but there will be none. He was originally supposed to play one more cup game (at home) with Akis Manziou’s team, but this was postponed at the request of EL.AS. Due to the anniversary of Alexandros Grigoropoulos’ death and Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Athens the next day, the game with Panaitolikos in Agrinio was also scheduled.
We will find out in a few days in the Johan Cruyff Arena whether this contract will benefit or cost the Union.

Ukrainian defender Nottingham Forest Alexander Zinchenko He shared his feelings after his team beat Utrecht (2:1) in the main round of the Europa League.
“It’s a great feeling. First of all, I’m back. Secondly, it’s an incredible feeling to win a match. Getting three points today was very important for us. As you can see, it was a difficult match. But at the end of the match, I think we got what we wanted and let’s continue like that.”
“As a defender you always want to keep a clean sheet, but unfortunately we couldn’t do that today. So it’s something we need to work on in the future.”
“This is one of those matches where whoever wins the most challenges in different areas of the field will win the match. Today we won many more goals which helped us a lot in the game. But to be honest, even the opportunities we created, including me, we should have scored and finished this match earlier,” said Zinchenko.
Nottingham Forest is in 11th place in the rankings with 11 points after 6 matches in the Europa League this season.

sports doctor Dmitry Babelyuk He was not happy with the decision made by Sean Dyche, the head coach of English Nottingham, in the match against Dutch Utrecht in the Europa League (2-1).
The Foresters’ coach has given Ukraine national team defender Alexander Zinchenko a place in the starting squad after the player missed nine matches due to injury.
“These old-school coaches never cease to amaze. In 2025, with the advancement of sports science and medicine, I don’t understand how it is possible to release a player from the winger position for a full 90 minutes at the same time after two muscle injuries.
First, Moyes did this to Mikolenko, which led to Vitaly’s relapse. Now Dyche makes the same obvious mistakes.
Understanding that Zinchenko is a player who has regularly suffered from muscle problems in recent seasons; injured twice at Nottingham in the last three months; Having not played for the last six weeks, I cannot imagine how anyone could be so negligent in getting a player into top playing form.
This is not often seen in the new generation of coaches such as Thomas Frank or Enzo Mareschi, but the old ones continue to rely on their own emotions, leaving players in danger of unnecessary relapses.
I hope everything goes well for Sasha and he returns to his best form, but playing 90 minutes at a time after two months of treatment is outright stupidity in modern football at the top level,” Babelyuk raged.
