Panathinaikos midfielder Vicente Taborda sidelined for 20 days with muscle injury

Panathinaikos secured a 3-0 victory against Panetolikos during the fourth round of the Stoiximan Super League on September 14, 2026, at the OAKA stadium. The match was highlighted by an early goal from Argentine midfielder Vicente Taborda, who scored in the 13th minute before being forced to leave the pitch shortly after in the 20th minute due to physical discomfort.

Following a medical examination, it was confirmed that Taborda suffered a second-degree strain of the adductor muscle. Consequently, the player is expected to remain sidelined for approximately 20 days. He will miss the upcoming Greek Cup fixture against Kifisia and is expected to return to professional duties only after the scheduled international break. This victory places Panathinaikos alone at the top of the league standings, marking a successful start to the season despite the setback concerning the Argentine player's fitness.
