Colak and Rodrigo left out of the squad.
Paschalakis, Vieirinha, Ingason, Michailidis, Giannoulis, Schwab, Douglas, Murg, Tzolis, Andrija and Swiderski are the starters.
Standard Liège might be the next station for Colak. They want him on loan without a buy option.
We are lucky that the rules have changed this season. Last year it would not be possible to play for three clubs in one season a.k.a make two transfers or loan-deals in one season.
Only the SL teams will participate this season.
We have drawn Larisa. First leg in Toumba on January 19/20/21. February 2/3/4 the return in Larisa.
Lamia and Panathinaikos were lucky and have a bye to the quarterfinals.
Only the 14 teams of SL will participate.
Therefore there will be two bye’s in order to have 8 teams for the quarterfinals.

Games to be played January 19/20/21 (first leg) and February 2/3/4 (return).
Surprise surprise. They have picked OFI away for Ingason’s one match suspension.
We all agree with you A4! We have discussed that stupid rule before. Over and over again. But all the clubs approve. The big ones because they won’t miss key players in a derby. The small fish because they won’t miss key players in their struggle against relegation. Everybody happy.
Fourth yellow for Ingason today. I think he will sit out against Volos too. Atromitos away, Gavros at home and OFI away is not an option if I was the coach.
