Georgios Vagiannidis may lose the match against the Netherlands

Attention Sporting: Georgios Vagiannidis is in doubt for the upcoming Greece versus Netherlands clash, after feeling physical complaints during the surprising victory over Jurgen Klopp's Germany. The match is scheduled for 19:45 this Thursday, October 1, at Stadio Toumbas in Thessaloniki.

Possible loss on the right side

Sporting's right‑back, Georgios Vagiannidis, reported physical complaints during the match against Germany, which puts him among the doubtful players for the upcoming encounter with the Netherlands, according to the Greek portal Enikos. The Greek team has not yet confirmed his availability, but the concern has already been reported by specialist media.

Vagiannidis featured in Greece's starting eleven in the surprising victory over Germany, a team coached by Jurgen Klopp. The win, unexpected for many, highlighted the defensive solidity of the Greek national side.

The muscular discomfort felt by Vagiannidis prompted Greek manager Ivan Jovanovic to call up Panathinaikos right‑back Triantafyllos Tsapras to cover the possible absence on the right side of the defence. The call was made immediately after the match against Germany.

The kickoff of the Greece × Netherlands duel is scheduled for 19:45 this Thursday, October 1, at Stadio Toumbas, home of PAOK, in Thessaloniki. The stadium will host the Greek national team's debut in this qualifying stage.

The announcement of Tsapras' inclusion in the Greek national team was posted on Twitter by the official Ethniki Omada account, accompanied by the Greek message «Ο Τριαντάφυλλος Τσάπρας στην Εθνική Ομάδα! Καλώς ήρθες!». The post also included the link to the call‑up video.
