Blow for Panathinaikos as Dessers Suffers Hamstring Tear

Panathinaikos received a blow with the injury of Cyril Dessers, who returned from the Africa Cup of Nations with a hamstring tear in his right leg. The Nigerian striker is expected to be sidelined for at least two months, jeopardizing the team's preparation for the upcoming difficult matches. Dessers was signed in the summer to be the team's main attacking force, but persistent injuries have prevented him from living up to expectations.
