Ounahi is out for months
Azzedine Ounahi has had surgery on his right biceps femoris tendon and will miss several months (2) (4). That is the shape of the season changing in one line.
You are 1st in the Super League with 21 points from 8 games and a +14 goal difference. This does not hand the title to anyone. But you lose a midfielder in the middle of a Conference League run and a derby week.
January just got complicated
Ounahi's absence has turned the winter window into a real decision (2). Panathinaikos now have to work out what they do in January with a squad built around a player who is not coming back soon (2). That is the story to watch over the next two months.

AEK on Sunday, then CSKA Sofia
AEK Athens at home on Sunday, Nov 1 at 18:30 CET. That is the game that matters most this week.
Your last three in the league: Olympiacos 1–0 Panathinaikos away, Panathinaikos 5–1 Asteras Tripoli at home, Volos NFC 0–1 Panathinaikos away. The loss in Piraeus still stings. The answer was four straight wins in all competitions.
CSKA Sofia come to you in the Conference League on Thursday, Nov 5 at 21:00 CET, then Iraklis away on Sunday, Nov 8 at 16:30 CET.

The thread has become a debate about pricing, kickoff times and atmosphere rather than anything on the pitch. Read the thread
