Masouras is constantly in the red at Olympiakos, he struggles but he overcomes the difficulties

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).
