Europa League
Masouras is constantly in the red at Olympiakos, he struggles but he overcomes the difficulties
Giorgos Masouras’ magnetic display showed nothing to worry about and the Greece international is determined to play Apollon Limassol in Thursday’s crucial game.
Giorgos Masouras was ruled out of training on Tuesday (16/8) with fresh adductor problems, he underwent an MRI which luckily for Olympiakos revealed nothing to worry about and he is determined to be ‘present’ in the first crucial step his match against Apollon Limassol on Thursday (18 August, 8 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 1, LIVE Sportish) in Nicosia’s GSP for the Europa League playoffs.
The reality is that the veteran striker plays in red all the time, as we remember playing 120 minutes in Bratislava in the game with Slovan with an injection for the pain in the adductors he felt in the last two training sessions.
However, the Greek footballer didn’t give up, he played, provided two assists, scored one goal, scored on penalties and helped Olympiakos leave Slovakia with a ticket to qualify for the Europa League play-offs.
Masouras is ready to grit his teeth again to face Apollon Limassol as he wants to help Olympiacos in this important game. Finally, it is known that Carlos Corberan is not counting on Aboubakar Kamara, who is suffering from a contusion and is not even included in the European list for the two games with the Cypriot team, while Rodriguez is also injured. The Cape Verde winger is unavailable for the first game, which shows just how important Masura’s presence is in the squad.
The Greek striker will undergo a fitness test at Olympiakos’ morning training session in Rentis on Wednesday (17/8) and will do his best to keep up, even if he has to have an injection. It is recalled that Corberan will announce the red and white mission just after 11am, which will leave for Cyprus at 3pm.
The good news for Corberan is that on Tuesday (16/8) Embila, Zinkernagel, Mandi Kamara, Ba, Ranjelovic and Androutsos, who struggled in the previous period, completed the full training program. The above returns are important for Olympiacos during this period, which will assess the Piraeus team’s participation in the Europa League groups.
It is recalled that Olympiacos has until Wednesday afternoon (17/8) the right to make up to two changes to the UEFA list for the two matches against Apollon Limassol, one of which is expected to be the presence of Konrad de La Fuente.
Tickets for the game against PAS Ioannina go on sale on Wednesday (17/8).
At the same time, the red-whites are currently concentrating on the first leg against Apollon Limassol, but at the same time the league premiere game against PAS Ioannina on Sunday (21 August, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 1, LIVE Sportish) in the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium is moving up.

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.
