When will Marcelo, Samassico, Leidner and Fortuny return for the first time

When will Marcelo, Samassico, Leidner and Fortuny return for the first time

Olympiacos are preparing to return to action in the match against Atromitos (16:00, COSMOTE SPORT 1, LIVE SPORT24) and are expected to gradually be available for Mitchell Gonzalez to perform for the Red-White team.

Mitchell will make his debut on the official bench Olympiaco in the match against fearless Sunday, October 2 (4:00 p.m., Cosmot sports 1And the Live Sport 24), but friends of red and white are eagerly waiting for the premiere of some players, like Marcelo, from Samasekos and Leidner, but also the return of Fortunis. Players who can change the image of the Piraeus team for the better.

As of today, Marcelo will not be available for the match against Atromitos, but the possibility remains that he will be in the squad to face Karabagh in Karaiskakis (6/10). First, to be on the bench.

The Brazilian defender increases his pace at Reentes every day after an intense training program and believes he will soon be at Mitchell’s disposal. At the beginning of next week, the picture will be clearer and more will emerge about the appearance of the experienced football player.

Samasiko is in good match fitness, having made three league and cup matches for Hoffenheim earlier in the season and in the last twenty-four hours playing half an hour as a substitute in the 1-0 Mali-Zambia match. It makes sense that the 26-year-old defensive midfielder will also play tonight in his country’s second friendly match against Zambia, and hopefully be available for the match against Atromitos.

Leedner was brilliant in Israel’s 2-1 win over Albania and was good at blocking and taking a lot of offensive gestures despite having three months to play in an official match. In the four matches he played for the Israel men’s national team, he received two assists, and the media in his home country had great comments about his performance.

The young left-back is at the disposal of Mitchell, who he sees fit to use. Leidner is waiting in October to get the community (Roman) passport, but the Spanish coach can get it in any league match he wants, even if he plays as a foreigner (non-community).

Fortounis is now ready to compete and showed it last Saturday in Olympiacos’ first team friendly against the second team, providing three assists. The Greek ace was used as the number 8, because internationals Enbom Hwang, Konde and Bouchalakis were absent, but the bottom line is that the experienced midfielder can offer solutions to Mitchell when the league resumes.

In addition to the four footballers mentioned above, we must not forget that James Rodriguez and Cedric Bakabo made their debut in the last match with Aris (the first as a starter and the second as a substitute) and now they have already joined the team. Thus, Mitchell is now betting on six other players who can drastically change the image of Olympiacos.
