PAOK players dedicate goal to injured teammate Giannis Konstantelias

During the football match between Atromitos and PAOK held on August 30, 2026, PAOK player Dimitris Pelkas scored an equalizer in the 43rd minute, bringing the score to 1-1. Following the goal, Pelkas and his teammates gathered at the bench to display a shirt with the message "Get well soon, Konstantelias," publicly expressing support for their former teammate.

The gesture was triggered by the severe injury sustained by Giannis Konstantelias. Shortly after scoring his debut goal for Borussia Dortmund against Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, Konstantelias suffered a cruciate ligament rupture. The public display of solidarity by the PAOK squad underscores the enduring professional and personal bonds within the team despite the player's recent transfer to the German league.
