Panathinaikos forward Levi Garcia suffers injury during international duty

Panathinaikos forward Levi Garcia sustained an injury while playing for Trinidad and Tobago during a CONCACAF Nations League match against Curaçao on October 2, 2026. The 28-year-old striker was forced to leave the pitch just 14 minutes into the game after reporting physical discomfort. Following the incident, he was officially released from his national team duties.

Initial reports from various sources suggest the player may have suffered a calf strain, although the exact severity remains unconfirmed pending medical evaluation. Garcia is scheduled to travel to Athens this Sunday, October 4, 2026, to undergo an MRI scan. The results of this examination will determine the extent of the damage and his required recovery period.

This injury has caused significant concern for Panathinaikos, as the club prepares for the high-stakes 'Eternal Derby' against Olympiacos in the 6th round of the Stoiximan Super League, scheduled for October 11, 2026. His availability for this crucial encounter currently remains uncertain, pending the outcome of the medical assessment in Greece.
