Panathinaikos defender Triantafyllos Tsapras sidelined with calf injury

Panathinaikos head coach Jakob Nistrup will be without right-back Triantafyllos Tsapras for the upcoming series of matches following a confirmed injury. Medical examinations, including an MRI scan, revealed that the Greek defender has sustained a first-degree calf strain.

Tsapras is expected to remain sidelined for approximately 20 days as he undergoes a prescribed rehabilitation program. This absence forces the coaching staff to adjust their tactical plans for crucial upcoming fixtures, most notably the Conference League playoff second leg against Hradec Kralove in the Czech Republic, which follows a 2-2 draw at the OAKA stadium. Additionally, the defender will miss the away league match against Levadiakos. This injury presents a significant challenge for the squad as they prepare for a demanding schedule that requires depth in the defensive line.
