Olympiacos continues its preparations, despite the many absences of international players, for next Sunday’s derby against Panathinaikos at the “G. Karaiskakis” Stadium. The player who has really stood out is Marius Muadilmandji, who has shown that he is adapting very quickly to his new environment.
The center forward from Chad is responding very well tactically to the demands of Imanol Alguaizil, while also showcasing on the court the skills and athleticism that convinced the Piraeus club to sign him. The Basque coach is so pleased with the 28-year-old star’s performance that he is even considering starting him in the “eternal” derby. After all, Gonzalez and Yaremchuk won’t be returning to training from their national team duties until Wednesday.

As for Leon Bailey, the Jamaican winger is stepping up his training daily, and the chances of him being available are increasing. The goal is for him to make the roster and, if the coach deems it necessary, to play for about half an hour. However, since he’s coming off a long period of inactivity, he won’t be rushed, and the medical staff will give the green light only when they determine he is 100% ready and at no risk of a relapse.
