After Benfica, Renato Sanches still out of luck at Panathinaikos | OneFootball

Renato Sanches remains sidelined due to injury. The absence of the former Portuguese international will weaken Panathinaikos' options as they continue to prepare for the match against Feyenoord in Rotterdam for the third round of the Europa League. The Greek team will therefore continue without the former Benfica player.

Last Tuesday, October 21, the former number 85 of the "Reds" only completed half of one of the training sessions that the Greeks had scheduled before the trip to the Netherlands. However, the coaching staff, led by Christos Kontis - who succeeded Rui Vitória - adopted a cautious approach regarding the midfielder.

According to what is reported by the Greek press, cited by the newspaper A Bola, Renato Sanches is not yet fully recovered and, therefore, not fully integrated into ball training. The athlete recently suffered a biceps strain, which will delay his establishment in the Athenian club.

The same source indicates that the former international, who won the 2016 European Championship with Portugal, should only return to competition later. The press explains that the midfielder is expected to be fit to play in the match following tomorrow's European clash, October 23.

After a return to forget at Benfica, the athlete is once again on loan from PSG. In the current sports season, Renato Sanches - currently valued at 3 million euros - has played six matches so far: five in the Greek championship and one in the Europa League. In the 278 minutes he was on the field, the number 8 provided one assist.
