Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Pantelis Michail starts in friendly match against Dinamo Bucuresti

Omonia Nicosia played a pre-season friendly match against Dinamo Bucuresti on July 2, 2024. Due to the absence of the primary goalkeepers Fabiano and Francis Uzoho, 20-year-old goalkeeper Pantelis Michail played the full 90 minutes. Michail delivered a stable performance, which was noted by the technical staff as he is expected to serve as the team's third goalkeeper this season. Coach Henning Berg is utilizing these friendly matches to evaluate the squad before official fixtures begin. Several other players, including Panagiotou, Tankovic, Andreou, Christou, and Neophytou, did not participate in the match due to minor injuries or rest requirements. While Fabiano remains the team's preferred goalkeeper, Uzoho is expected to receive playing time in upcoming friendlies to regain match fitness.
