The break is over—time to get back to work… After two days off, the Panathinaikos players are back in action today, beginning their preparations for the two matches against Hradec Kralove, starting with Thursday’s game at OAKA (9:30 p.m.), for the Conference League playoffs.
Jacob Nistrup and his players are focusing on these two crucial European matches, as the league opener against Kifisia—which had been scheduled for August 23—was postponed at the request of the Greens, the league opener against Kifissia, which had been scheduled for August 23. Similarly, the Czechs have also had two of their matches postponed, one before and one between their games against Panathinaikos.
Triantafyllos Tsapras will be available to the Danish coach for the playoffs, as he has served his suspension and is returning to the roster. On the other hand, Davide Calabria will try to be ready for the rematch, while Kings Kangwa is also out of action, as he is ineligible to play.
The training sessions leading up to Thursday’s match will help Desers and Tetei get into the best possible shape, as the former is coming off a long layoff and the latter is recovering from an illness.
