Levi García misses the derby
Levi García will not make Sunday's trip to Olympiacos (3). The derby at Karaiskakis kicks off at 20:00 CEST on Sunday, October 11, and Panathinaikos go in top of the table on 15 points from five games, five wins from five.
The good news is the recovery is moving faster than expected, and there is real hope he is back sooner than anyone assumed (3). For a derby your attack was built around, that is the trade you take.
Taborda is back in the picture
Vicente Taborda is training fully again and is close to a starting spot for Karaiskakis (5). Jacob Nistrup has found a way to use him that puts him back in the frame for the XI (5). With García out, that timing matters.

January planning starts with a centre-back
The club has already begun mapping out what it needs for January, and centre-back is the priority position (8). Nothing signed, nothing agreed, just the first moves on the board.
Votanikos: the club moves its seat
