Without him Giannis Antetokounmpo the national team will compete in tonight’s second friendly against Spainin Madrid (20:30, ERT3, sport-fm.gr).
The 28-year-old superstar has some minor problems with his knee and it was deemed advisable to take precautions, since the summer is… long. The problem is not cause for concern and it was decided not to play as a precaution.
It is worth noting that the Spaniards have announced sold out, since – among others – they wanted to see the Greek Freak up close, but now they will be limited to seeing him in his uniform on the edge of the bench.
So Dimitris Itoudis will have 13 players at his disposal, since Papagiannis, Sloukas, Moraitis and Gondikas stayed in Athens.
The mission of the Greek team in detail: Nick Kalathis, Kostas Papanikolaou, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Ioannis Papapetrou, Giannoulis Larentzakis, Dimitris Agravanis, Leonidas Kaselakis, Lefteris Bohorides, Kostas Antetokounmpo, Michalis Luntzis, Tyler Dorsey, Panagiotis Kalaitzakis, Yiannis Kouseloglou.
