Squad

17 days out for Othonas Karo after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Panathinaikos will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Panathinaikos

Levi Garcia and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Davide Calabria wants more than Panathinaikos are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Player ratings

Santino Andino beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Iñaki Peña falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Panathinaikos get the job done against AEL Larisa

A 1‑0 win over AEL Larisa, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Giannis Bokos

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Panathinaikos will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Player ratings

One of those days for Vicente Taborda

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Loan watch

Giorgos Katris has seen enough of Asteras

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Panathinaikos, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A fracture rules Othonas Karo out for 24 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Panathinaikos will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Pavlos Pantelidis says no to Austria Wien

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Pavlos Pantelidis had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 11 in, 6 out at Panathinaikos

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 11 arrived, 6 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Sotiris Kontouris’s move to Volos NPS falls through

The deal that would have taken Sotiris Kontouris to Volos NPS has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Panathinaikos with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

Iñaki Peña falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Nahuel Ulariaga has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Panathinaikos can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Match

Levi Garcia the difference as Panathinaikos beat OFI

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Levi Garcia. 1‑0 against OFI, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A step back for Elmin Rastoder at Panathinaikos

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

Lucas Chaves in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Panathinaikos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Othonas Karo breaks a bone — 31 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 31 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Rapid Wien come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Panathinaikos did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Santino Andino turns Luzern down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Transfer targets

OFI tell Panathinaikos: Giannis Apostolakis is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Eyes on Pavlos Pantelidis again

The phone has started ringing about Pavlos Pantelidis again, and this time the name on the line is Austria Wien. Panathinaikos are listening politely and promising nothing.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Panathinaikos

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Fotios Karelis joins the Panathinaikos first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Fotios Karelis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match

PAOK take the points off Panathinaikos

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Tempers go at Panathinaikos

Lucas Chaves was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A fracture rules Othonas Karo out for 39 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Panathinaikos will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Sotiris Kontouris says no to Kokand 1912

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Sotiris Kontouris had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Transfer targets

Red Bull Salzburg tell Panathinaikos: Edmund Baidoo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Karol Świderski moves on

Asteras pay $4.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Panathinaikos sell Cyriel Dessers for $1.9M

Cyriel Dessers has left for Atromitos in a $1.9M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Eyes on Pavlos Pantelidis again

The phone has started ringing about Pavlos Pantelidis again, and this time the name on the line is PAOK. Panathinaikos are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

A row about effort at Panathinaikos

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Iñaki Peña was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Nahuel Ulariaga in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Panathinaikos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Looking ahead

Sverrir Ingi Ingason faces his old club

PAOK next, and one man in the Panathinaikos dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

In brief
