Before the third round match of the Europa League against 'Panathinaikos', the football club 'Shakhtar' faced staffing problems. Earlier, winger Kevin had already suffered injuries.
New injury in the 'Shakhtar' squad
The club reported that Traore suffered a quadriceps injury during the match against 'Epicenter'. Doctors say that the player from Burkina Faso needs surgery, but the exact recovery time is not specified.
Although Traore's loss is unfortunate, 'Shakhtar' still has Brazilian forwards Eginaldo and Kawan Elias. Thus, the absence of a third option in the forward position will not significantly impact the team, while Kevin's absence is a more serious issue.
The match between 'Shakhtar' and 'Panathinaikos' in Krakow will start at 21:00 Kyiv time.
'Shakhtar' coach Arda Turan stated that he would not consider the team's failures as a result of difficult away trips. A 'Shakhtar' player explained his refusal to move to a Premier League club.
The match between 'Shakhtar' and 'Panathinaikos' promises to be interesting, although Traore's absence may affect the team's performance. This was stated by doctors who plan surgery for the forward. In the confrontation of the clubs in Krakow, football fans will definitely not sit in their seats!
