Panathinaikos has made a single change to its European squad list for the upcoming Conference League playoff matches against Hradec Krรกlovรฉ. The Greek club has opted to include Italian right-back Davide Calabria.
Calabria, who has been undergoing rehabilitation, is now considered a potential option for the second leg of the tie in the Czech Republic. While not yet fully match-fit, the club's technical staff believes he could be ready in time for the return fixture, prompting his inclusion on the list.
Conversely, Danish left-back Viktor Kristiannsen is still sidelined. He is in the process of regaining match fitness after a prolonged absence and has not played in several months. The coaching staff is prioritizing a gradual return to avoid rushing his comeback.
Kristiannsen requires additional time to reach his optimal level of readiness and will not be available for either of the European encounters. The full list for the Conference League playoffs includes players such as Tetei, Kontouri, Kyriakopoulos, Tsapras, Kotsaris, Penia, De Fray, Van Drongelen, Tamborda, Jagusic, Zarouri, Dessers, Rastoder, Pelistri, Garcia, Touba, Chavez, and Antino. Lavdas, Binjaris, and Geitonas are on list B.
