Last-minute change to Greece’s starting lineup: Triantis replaces Kourbelis

He felt some discomfort and was sidelined
ALPHANEWSLIVE


A last-minute problem for the Greek national team just before kickoff in their match against the Netherlands in Amsterdam for the fifth matchday of League A of the Nations League.

Dimitris Kourbelis, although he was originally in the starting lineup for the “blue-and-whites,” felt discomfort during warm-ups and was consequently unable to start the game. 

As a result, Ivan Jovanović had to adjust his plans, placing Nektarios Triantis in the starting lineup alongside Thanasis Androutsos. 

The Asteras AKTOR captain will sit on the bench, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to help Greece during the match. 

It is worth noting that the 33-year-old central midfielder had been dealing with an injury all week and had been following an individualized training program.
