Panathinaikos prepares for match against Real Betis

Panathinaikos held a training session at the Georgios Kalafatis facility on March 10 in preparation for the upcoming UEFA match against Real Betis on March 12. Midfielder Pedro Chirivella participated in most of the team practice, increasing his chances of joining the squad for the first leg. Conversely, players Cyril Dessers and Giannis Kotsiras continued with individual programs, while Erik Palmer-Brown underwent medical treatment. None of these three players are available for the match against the Spanish side. Coach Rafael Benitez oversaw a session that included warm-ups, rondo drills, tactical exercises, and finishing practice. The final training session is scheduled for March 11 at 11:00 in Koropi, after which the 65-year-old manager will announce the official traveling squad. Some reports indicated slight variations in the timing of Chirivella's initial return to group training, citing Monday afternoon versus Tuesday morning, though both confirm his positive progress.
