Greece face a setback before their critical World Cup match at Hampden next week, with key defender Panagiotis Retsos sidelined by a groin injury.
Scotland will host Greece on Thursday, where a victory could significantly boost their chances of qualifying for next year’s World Cup. Greece, after a 5-1 win over Belarus, stumbled with a loss to Denmark in their second match.
The absence of Olympiacos captain Retsos, who played in Greece’s 3-0 Nations League play-off win over Scotland earlier this year, is a major blow. He’s been replaced by PAOK’s Giannis Michaelides, who returns to the squad after a five-year absence with only two caps.
