Panathinaikos Athens are currently in Rhodes, where the first title of the 2023-24 season, the Greek SuperCup, will be decided. And even though the Greens traveled to Rhodes with a full roster, coach Ergin Ataman received some worrisome news on Thursday evening.

Dinos Mitoglou left the team's practice session in Rhodes with pains in his left calf. He underwent an MRI to determine the exact size of the problem, which showed that the 27-year-old forward has suffered a second-degree contusion in the left gastrocnemius (calf). Mitoglou will starts treatment immediately and his condition will be reevaluated.

The way things stand, he's not only slated to miss the SuperCup, but also the EuroLeague premiere where Panathinaikos host Olympiacos at OAKA next Friday night. Overall, Mitoglou might miss three weeks of action, which means he won't be ready to play before October 20.

But that isn't the only issue the Greens are dealing with, as Ioannis Papapetrou felt a knee discomfort and is unlikely to play in Friday's game. It's still uncertain whether either player will be available in case PAO advance to Saturday's final game, where they'll be squaring off with the winner of the contest between Olympiacos Piraeus and Peristeri.
