Olympiakos midfielder Giorgos Okkas undergoes surgery amid injury crisis

Olympiakos midfielder Giorgos Okkas has undergone surgery to address an abdominal groin injury. The 23-year-old player, who had started the 2026 season in excellent form, was initially expected to be sidelined for at least 1.5 months according to early reports, though subsequent updates suggest a recovery period of approximately two months. This injury significantly impacts the team's midfield rotation options.

In addition to Okkas, the club is facing further personnel challenges as midfielder Pedro Sancho is scheduled for surgery following an anterior cruciate ligament tear. Sancho's recovery is estimated to take approximately nine months, effectively ruling him out for the remainder of the current season. These consecutive injury setbacks represent a significant blow to the team's depth.
