Olympiacos and AEK face roster challenges in upcoming competitions

Olympiacos coach Georgios Bartzokas faces roster decisions ahead of the Stoiximan Super Cup, scheduled for September 26 and 27 at the Andreas Papandreou Indoor Hall. With Tyrique Jones suspended, the team must select six foreign players from an eight-man available pool. Expected selections include centers Nikola Milutinov and Donte Diaconescu, alongside offensive players Jan Večerovský and Evan Fournier. Decisions remain pending for the remaining slots involving players such as Kobi DeShields, Conmy Miller-McIntyre, and Corey Joseph.

In football, AEK will travel to Volos for their Stoiximan Super League match without top scorer Barnabas Varga. The Hungarian striker is recovering from a triceps strain. The medical staff aims to have him ready for AEK's upcoming Champions League League Phase fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk on October 14.
