Essien limps off at Panathinaikos training

Panathinaikos midfielder Michael Essien limped out of training last Sunday and remains a doubt for tomorrow’s league match against Levadiakos.

The former Chelsea midfielder remains a huge doubt for the midweek clash but will undergo tests today to ascertain the degree of damage.

According to a club statement, Essien could not complete the training session because of abdominal discomforts.

The “Greens” do not want to risk a new injury and for this reason are skeptical on whether to use him in the upcoming match.

Essien joined Panathinaikos this summer on a free transfer after leaving AC Milan.
