Olympiacos is getting back on track, as the first international players are gradually returning to the Renti training facility and preparations for the derby against Panathinaikos are entering the final stretch. Imanol Alguacil is waiting to have most of the roster back together, so he can assess the condition of the players who were on international duty and begin formulating his plans for the resumption of competitive action.
The news regarding Leon Bailey is particularly positive; he has stepped up his training and is now in very good shape. The Jamaican winger is training normally with the team, and everything indicates that he will be available in the near future. Meanwhile, Sa is also nearing his return; he is following his rehabilitation program and is expected to gradually return to his normal routine. Olympiacos is not willing to take any risks, with the goal being for both players to return only when they are fully ready.
David Fuster is also expected to return to Renti to officially assume his new duties. The Spaniard will work closely with Antonio Cordon on organizational matters, will be working closely with Imanol Alguacil in the day-to-day operations of the first team, and all signs point to his role being quite broad. At the same time, he will serve as a liaison with the reserve team and the U-19 squad, drawing on the experience and knowledge he has gained in recent years.
These developments come at a time when Olympiacos is preparing to enter a particularly demanding schedule, with back-to-back matches in Greece and Europe.
