Panathinaikos forward Levi Garcia suffers injury during international match

Panathinaikos forward Levi Garcia sustained an injury while playing for Trinidad and Tobago during a CONCACAF Nations League match against Curacao on October 2, 2026. The 28-year-old striker was forced to leave the pitch in the 14th minute of the game, causing significant concern for his club as they prepare for the upcoming league schedule.

Preliminary reports suggest that Garcia may have suffered a calf strain, though medical assessments are pending. The player is expected to return to Greece as soon as possible to undergo clinical examinations to determine the severity of the injury and his expected recovery timeline. His availability for the high-stakes Athens derby against Olympiacos, scheduled for October 11 at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, remains highly uncertain, creating a major obstacle for the team's coaching staff following the international break.
