Panathinaikos midfielder Azzedine Ounahi to undergo follow-up medical examination

Panathinaikos midfielder Azzedine Ounahi is scheduled to undergo a new MRI scan in the coming days to re-evaluate the status of his injury. The Moroccan international sustained a severe muscle tear in his right bicep during a match against Asteras AKTOR on October 18, 2026. The club emphasized that this upcoming examination was planned from the outset as part of his recovery monitoring process.

Following the injury, initial medical assessments suggested that Ounahi would be sidelined until the beginning of 2027. This recovery period is expected to result in the player missing approximately 15 competitive matches, including two in the Superbet Greek Cup and five in European competitions. Key fixtures he is set to miss include league derbies against AEK and PAOK, as well as a Cup match against Olympiacos.

While fans and observers initially expressed concern over the severity of the diagnosis, the club maintains that the current assessment schedule remains unchanged. Further updates regarding the player's condition are expected to be provided by the team following the completion of the upcoming diagnostic scan.
