pash Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 When I saw that Leverkusen were down to 10 men today, I was so sure it was Kpaps. Fortunately, it doesn't appear that he made the bench.
Nikitas Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 he has a muscle injury so he wasnt in their squad yesterday. leverkusen played 1-1 away against hoffenheim. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ligainsider.de%2Fkyriakos-papadopoulos_503%2Ffehlt-angeschlagen-gegen-hoffenheim-135638%2F&edit-text=&act=url
Manolara Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Too many injuries, stalled his progress. Not sure if genetics, diet, poor maintenance or a mix of these.
Manolara Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Messi+Ronaldo go all out play like 10 games a day, get trashed by defenders and are barely injured compared to others. Iniesta, Xavi, Giggs, Scholes, where similar.
Rockafeller Skank Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Still its unprofessional to risk staying out 2-3 months just for a single phase of one single and maybe even meaningless game. When team is already winning 2-0 etc.His manager and coach need to guide him if that is really the case. Otherwise its genetics. Sterling and Sturrige are all similar cases. Wanted from the team and the fans but injured nonstop.
georgelaz Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Well messi has been on steroids (Growth Hormone) most of his life, he is made of rubber. Exceptionally strong and fast due to the chemicals being injected into him. Ronaldo is an exceptional physical specimen - no doubt. Iniesta, Xavi etc do not go head first into challenges the way K. Paps does. K. Paps is wild on the pitch, he throws himself like an animal. Vidic is a similar case, very strong, but wild and injured non-stop. K. Paps jumps exceptionally high for headers, that is why he scores so many. When you get that much air and dont land on your feet, you dislocate shoulders and twist ligaments. Muscular discomfort probably won't keep him out long. I think he is adjusting his game. Much like Rooney, who would literally run into sliding tackles had to learn to adjust his game. Kpaps has to take the long-term approach, which will be difficult for him because part of what makes him a great player is his aggression. He has to channel it to safer technique. Dude plays like an American Football player, there's a reason why they retire so early + a lot of them have F***ed up ligaments / head trauma etc.
Nikitas Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 after his start in leverkusens last europa league match , he injured his left knee. not sure how long he will be out. leverkusen has alot of injuries and arent doing good since then , they also miss their nr 1 and 2 cb's tah and toprak. not sure if one of they plays today. papadopoulos has (in german) "Kapselverletzung im linken Knie" , translates to "Capsule injury in his left knee" in english.
Nikitas Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 was just back from injury and had to play yesterday but it didnt went that well , leverkusen lost 2-0 against villareal and was at fault for the 1-0. leverkusen had alot of injuries lately and have a poor form.
pash Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 So looking at just the posts on this page - he got hurt on March 5, came back, and got hurt again on the 17th? How is this guy still a professional player?
Nikitas Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 yesterday i read something about a calf injury but no confirmation yet. he also landed a header on the bar.
Argy Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Reports are Achilles tendon. His season is over. What a shame. No disrespect to Leverkusen, as they are a big European club, but if KPap was not so injury-prone, he would have been playing for a one of the very elites. Edited March 18, 2016 by Argy
Dean97 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 What a shame. This is becoming very annoying. He is a type of player that would save you the game. I believe he played better than Manolas all campaign. He is definitely needed in the Ethniki. Is there any news on Sokratis?

Yeah he came on against Hungary & Turkey and completely shut down both offenses in the respective 0-0 games.
Nikitas Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 he recovered from his injury and played the first half today in a friendly against german regionale west team verl. first half ended in 0-0 and the second half in 1-1.
Nikitas Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 papadopoulos on the upcoming season. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportal.de%2Fkyriakos-papadopoulos-will-titel-gewinnen-1-2016071864248600000
Nikitas Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 in a friendly yesterday he hitted the bar but after 12 minutes or so the match was abandoned due to thunder. a friendly before that he played the first half against porto and made an error that led to the 1-0 for port. match ended in 1-1. rumour has it that stoke city is preparing a bid for kyriakos. http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/stoke-city-transfer-gossip-mark-hughes-preparing-12m-bid-for-kyriakos-papadopoulos/story-29569590-detail/story.html https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fussballtransfers.com%2Fbundesliga%2F14-millionen-stoke-versucht-sein-gluck-bei-bayer-verteidiger_67638&edit-text=&act=url this season will be the same as last season as his chances go's. he will be battling with tah to be the second centerback of leverkusen. toprak will be first.
Nikitas Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 seems he will be 3th CB for now. he didnt started in the cup match the weekend and didnt came on also. lets hope he gets enough minutes to show different.
Dutch Eagle Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 K.Paps did not train today at the Ehtniki. He had a day off the finish his transfer (loanbasis though) to Red Bull (sorry RasenBallsport) Leipzig.
Argy Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 What a huge step backwards. Newly promoted Bundesliga side with no European football. Low profile, low prestige club.
Rockafeller Skank Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 A. He is still playing at a top level (aka a Bundesliga club). B. He ll be a starter obviously,whenever fit. C. They are not a low budget club. They in fact have a many years program to be able to hit a Bundesliga title. However, I do not know how much time that means and if he is considered as an attributor to that target. They won the Bundesliga 2. Easily, they will probably try to go for a top 10 maybe even hit a Europa Spot. D. If it's the same coach he had in Schalker, he/we should consider this an honour. Someone insiting on u playing by his side.
Rockafeller Skank Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 2 hours ago, Greekfreak said: I don't mean to knock Leverkusen; their plan is a sound one, and they've had some success. However, Rangnick was Schalke's coach during their incredible quarter-final CL run, and he worked wonders at Hoffenheim. He also believes very strongly in Kpaps, and I expect him to figure in quite prominently in the first team. But Leverkusen will not compete with BVB or Bayern this season. But he aint playing at Leverkusen bro. I dont understand what u talking about.
Bananas Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 20 hours ago, 1789 said: I don't think he's finished. Ronaldo (R9) came back from much more serious knee issues back in the early 2000s. He played at Real Madrid for 5-6 years after those problems. True enough, he did come back from his injury which was a terrible one, and he continued to play at a top club in a top league for many years. But I don't think he was ever quite the same player. It's subjective and it's just my opinion, but when he was in the Serie A before his first major injury, he was downright scary. I mean, you could see the fear in the faces of the opposition defenders as they were resorting to just kicking him and often even that didn't work. Ah, I miss the Serie A of those days. Back on topic, good luck to KP. I hope he can overcome his injuries and become an integral part of the NT. Lord knows we need him.
