Breaking! Player leaves national team and returns to Sporting injured | OneFootball

Georgios Vagiannidis is back at Sporting. The right-back, who was taken off at half-time in Germany vs Greece due to muscle discomfort, has been released from the Greek squad and will no longer take part in the matches against the Netherlands and the "Maanschaft".

According to information from newspaper A Bola, Vagiannidis’ problem is not serious, but the Hellenic squad, led by Ivan Jovanovic, understood that it was not worth taking the risk of using him in these next two matches.

Before this setback, the Sporting defender had played the full 90 minutes in Greece’s 2-1 win over Serbia on the opening matchday of the Nations League, before keeping his place in the starting XI for the victory on German soil.

This issue will require some caution, with a lay-off of between seven and ten days, which means that, at this stage, the Greek international’s presence in the match against Braga, scheduled for the 9th, is also in doubt.
