Olympiacos Piraeus will miss at least one player in the EuroLeague derby on Friday. Meanwhile, Panathinaikos Athens will play without two forwards.

Dinos Mitoglou and Ioannis Papapetrou will both miss the international season opener.

Mitoglou has been dealing with calf pain since late September after picking up the injury before the Greek Super Cup. Papapetrou, meanwhile, is dealing with knee discomfort. He missed the Super Cup action as well.

Mitoglou might miss some more EuroLeague games as the early estimates marked him to miss three weeks of action.

On the opponent side of the court, Moustapha Fall will be sidelined, while Ignas Brazdeikis remains a game-time decision.

The derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos is scheduled on Friday, August 6th, at 20:15 CET.
