Team Injury Report

[Blackhawk]

Despodov should worry about playing up to his potential, something he has not done in the last 2 months when he got a chance to play.

According to today's reports, Zivkovic's injury is no serious, but he might not play on Sunday.

Sounds like Otto might make it back after all. It's been a month, after all. Assuming he does, would be good to not rely on Vieirinha down the stretch.

Camara has some sort of bone bruise or swelling around his knee. It doesn't sound serious, but they are "assessing" for now. I'm guessing he'll be out a few weeks past the return of the internationals.

Despodov hurt while in training with Bulgaria and is returning to Thessaloniki. Did we rush him back too soon? Not a great sign.

[pash]

He'll be out 2-3 weeks, which means he'll lose at least three games (OFI, Panaitolikos, Levadeiakos). Hopefully he won't miss the bigger comes that come up after that.

No real update on Camara either.

In the training report on Thursday, the club said that Camara would be assessed daily. Generally this indicates that it isn't a serious issue and it is a matter of days before they return.

Looks like Pavlenka will miss the AEK and Lille games due to the injury he sustained in the Olympiakos game.

[pash]

That is a big hit, but I am praying we play Tsiftsis. I know he's fifteen years too young, but these small child has to play some time!

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsiftsis will start for sure against Lille as Guge is not in the EL-squad.

And I think and hope he gets the benefit of the doubt too in the Supa League. Guge has not impressed me.

[pash]

I am proud to be an early dissenter when it came to him 😉

[Dutch Eagle]

Andrija returned to Thessaloniki after leaving the pitch with an injury. For the statistics: Serbia lost 0-1 at home to Albania. 

Hope he has a minor injury and is available against AEX.

[Blackhawk]

Konstantelias sustained a 2nd degree sprain in yesterday's game and will be out of action for at least 3 weeks.

IN LUKA WE TRUST

Giakoumakis follows Michailidis onto the medical report. He will be out until January.

[pash]

Pavlenka's injury today will keep him out 4-6 weeks. Thank God Tsiftsis has been so good.
