A fracture rules Alberto Botía out for 17 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kifisia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Jorge Pombo 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.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

AEL Larisa left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Words at Kifisia training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jakub Pokorný is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Alberto Botía has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Kifisia.

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Alberto Botía breaks a bone — 32 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Kifisia, and it is not being withdrawn.
Match19 Dec 2026
Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and Panetolikos spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Jorge Pombo 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 Kifisia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Steve De Ridder, and the manager let it.

Three points for Kifisia, 1‑0 the final word against Panetolikos in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Jakub Pokorný 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.
Player ratings21 Dec 2026
Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Kifisia supporters have found a favourite in Issa Niaré
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Issa Niaré has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
