According to Gazzetta, Charalampos Kostoulas needed stitches to a leg wound suffered on Greece duty, yet he played on as they opened their Nations League campaign with a 2-1 win in Serbia.

Sport24 said his condition was not serious. The Albion forward started alongside prolific Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis, took a knock in the 15th minute while appealing for a penalty, and stayed on until the 63rd minute.

Greece were 1-0 down when he departed, then completed the comeback. Kostoulas drew praise for his first-half display but sent one effort over the bar.

Head coach Ivan Jovanovic said all five forwards he used in the game performed well.

Greece now prepare to face Germany in Augsburg on Sunday.
