Cármo back in training
David Cármo returned to Olympiacos training, ending a spell on the sidelines that had fans worried (1). No word yet on whether he is match-fit for the upcoming fixtures, but having your key defender back on the grass is a lift for Mendilibar's group.
Nikolakopoulos on Tzolakis, Sá, Podence, and Cordón
Kostas Nikolakopoulos dug into the goalkeeper situation on Galacticos by Interwetten, breaking down where things stand with Tzolakis and José Sá, plus the latest on Daniel Podence and the Cordón case (2). The Cordón situation remains unresolved, and the goalkeeping pecking order is one to watch as the summer window heats up.
Fan reactions
The Cármo news landed well. Supporters see him as the anchor of the back line and his return eases the tension around the defensive rebuild. The Cordón talk, though, has drawn mixed responses, some fans want clarity, others are just tired of the saga.
