Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze ruled out due to injury

Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze has been ruled out for the upcoming match against OFI at Pankritio Stadium on March 14, 2026. The Argentinian player sustained a minor groin injury during the 24th round match against PAOK at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on March 8, 2026. Hezze was substituted in the 81st minute of the derby by Lorenzo Scipioni after feeling discomfort. Medical examinations confirmed a mild strain, leading head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar to exclude him from the squad to avoid further complications. The club intends to manage his recovery cautiously due to the upcoming 15-day break before the Super League playoffs. His availability for the final regular-season match against AEL will be determined next week. No additional risks will be taken with his participation at this stage of the season.
