Dellas and Kapsis in Lineup for Greece vs Turkey Match



Greece coach Otto Rehhagel has recalled experienced central defenders Traianos Dellas and Michalis Kapsis for his side's Group C showdown with Turkey on 24 March.


Dellas fit but is he ready?

Both Turkey and Greece have opened their UEFA EURO 2008â„¢ qualifying campaign with three victories and Saturday's match in Athens could have a large say in determining the outcome of a tight group. Dellas missed the friendly against the Korean Republic in February through injury while Kapsis is selected after impressing for his new club APOEL FC.

Panathinaikos pair
Rehhagel has also recalled attacking Panathinaikos FC pair Dimitrios Papadopoulos and Dimitrios Salpingidis who were left out of the squad to face the Korean Republic. Their Panathinaikos team-mate Evangelos Mantzios misses out however, as does AEK Athens FC midfielder Pantelis Kafes. After playing Turkey, Greece are away to Malta on 28 March.

Dellas and Kapsis are legends because of 2004. They are still competent defenders. But both have had major injury problems.

I would like to see some young blood. Torosidis, Lagos, Patsa... even Vyntra who I'm not a big fan of. What about Tavlaridis? He's playing in Lille (Champions League team) doesn't that mean he's a solid player? I haven't seen him play very much, only going on what I've heard.

Kyrgiakos is our best defender, Giourkas is the second best at the moment.

Fyssas has to go! Thank you for your service Taki, but time to step down like Zagoraki.
