  • Panathinaikos player Davite Calabria took part in part of the team's training session, moving closer to returning to play.
  • The team's coach, Jacob Neestrup, expressed satisfaction with Calabria's progress, especially with another defender out for 20 days.
  • Panathinaikos is preparing for a crucial European match against Hradec Kralove in the Czech Republic.

Davite Calabria has taken another step toward returning to active play, participating in a portion of Panathinaikos' training session alongside the rest of the team. This development pleased coach Jacob Neestrup, particularly as Triantafyllos Tsapras is sidelined for approximately 20 days due to a strain, limiting options on the right side of defense.

The Italian fullback is gradually increasing his intensity, but his availability for the second leg against Hradec Kralove on Thursday in the Czech Republic remains uncertain. However, he might be included in the squad even if not ready for significant playing time.

In terms of team preparation, the "Greens" returned to training after a day off on Saturday, fully focusing on the critical European game against Hradec Kralove. The session at "G. Kalafatis" included warm-ups and small-sided games, with a strong emphasis on defensive organization and offensive development. The training concluded with a small-sided match and work on set pieces.
