Currently, Alguacil is working with 13 available players at the Rentis training center, while 16 players are absent due to injuries or international duty. Regarding tactical planning, Alguacil intends to utilize Kostas Fortounis primarily as a winger who has the freedom to move centrally during attacks to facilitate movement and ball circulation from the flanks.
