Panathinaikos midfielder Sotiris Kontouris sustains knee injury

Panathinaikos midfielder Sotiris Kontouris was forced to leave the pitch during the Greece U21 match against Georgia after suffering a knee injury. Initially, the player was substituted during the first half due to visible swelling, which raised concerns among the club’s technical staff regarding a potential ligament damage or serious setback. Kontouris returned to Athens shortly after the incident to undergo medical evaluations.

Following an MRI scan, medical staff diagnosed the injury as a hematoma in the right knee, ruling out more severe damage. The player has been released from the national team camp and has commenced rehabilitation at the 'G. Kalafatis' training facility. According to current medical projections, Kontouris is expected to return to full team training in approximately ten days.
