Panathinaikos: With new problems and no margins in Volos

The competitive crises pass with victories and o Panathinaikos he knows well that the first step to get out of it is to return to success. After all, despite the last missteps, the “greens” are at -1 from the pioneer PAOK and there is no reason to panic.

It is enough, of course, that they close 2023 with a victory Wednesday in Volos (19:00) so that they don’t lose any more valuable ground. Already the Ivan Jovanovich and his players are trying to put behind the painful defeats against Maccabi Haifa and Atromito taking only the… lessons from them.

The Serbian coach, in addition to the bad psychology of his team, has one more thing to manage absenteeism which is now more crowded than ever before this year. Apart from the well-known problems of Magnusson and Palmer-Brown, Aitor, Cerin and Djurisic are expected to be absent again, while Huankar and Vagiannidis, who left Peristeri with knee and biceps injuries respectively, will probably be absent.

The only consolation is that Verbic, who recovered, and Mladenovic, who served his suspension, will return. The Serb will definitely return to the starting line-up, where there are likely to be other changes, such as Lodingin instead of Brignoli. The mission will be announced after today’s training in Koropi.
