Panathinaikos faces injury concerns and administrative changes

Panathinaikos faces injury concerns regarding forward Levi Garcia, who left his international match with Trinidad and Tobago in the 14th minute. Local reports suggest a possible calf strain. Garcia is expected to undergo examinations to determine the severity and recovery time, which is critical as the club prepares for an upcoming derby against Olympiacos on October 11.

In other squad updates, Vicente Taborada is recovering well from a second-degree hamstring strain and is expected to return to full training by October 8. Sotiris Kontouris is also nearing a return following a knee injury sustained during international duty.

On the administrative side, Sofoklis Pilivios has rejoined Panathinaikos. The lawyer and former EPO president will serve as a personal advisor to owner Giannis Alafouzos, focusing on legal and administrative matters rather than direct football operations.
