Kourbelis is concussed, won’t go with the National team to Faro – Panathinaikos struggle

A last-minute problem arose at the Greek National Teamone day before the Euro 2024 qualifier against Gibraltar.

As it became known, Dimitris Kourbelis will not travel to Portugal, who underwent an MRI and was found to have suffered a contusion in his left thigh. Of course, this is a development which is of particular interest and… anxiety for Panathinaikos as well, which does not know at this time the seriousness of the injury in order to determine if and for how long it will be deprived of the services of its captain from the next games of the playoffs. Kourbelis has played in the starting 11 of the team in the last matches and in fact with quite a good performance.

As we mentioned, Kourbelis will not travel to Portugal with the National Team, which departs at 11 am from the “Eleftherios Venizelos” airport in Athens for Portugal, where tomorrow the course for the European Championship will begin, which in a year and a half will be held in Germany.

Baldock OK, Ioannidis and Bouchalakis difficult – Poget’s dilemmas

Gustavo Puget was delighted to see Sheffield United’s George Baldock train and declare himself ready for battle. It is recalled that on Tuesday he did not take out the entire program, remaining as a precaution except for a part of the training after discomfort he felt.

Andreas Bouchalakis, who was a forced substitute in Konyaspor’s clash with Galatasaray on Friday, picked up the pace but didn’t play the whole game. It is estimated that he will hardly compete against Gibraltar, just like Fotis Ioannidis of Panathinaikos, who followed a more relaxed pace due to discomfort.

As for Gustavo Poget’s thoughts, he muddied the waters again. However, he has dilemmas for the right end of the defense, where Baldock and Rota are claiming a place, but also for the midfield line. He did various tests for the wings, while Pavlidis and Giakoumakis “play” for the top of the attack.
