Latest pre-match information for Panathinaikos vs Lens
Striker Fotis Ioannidis, who scored 23 goals in 44 games across all competitions last season, has been strongly linked with a departure from the club this summer and was absent from Panathinaikos' most recent match.
However, reports indicate that coach Alonso has given him a rest and Ioannidis is expected to return to the starting lineup for this match.
Philipp Max was substituted in the 71st minute of the 1-0 win against Levadiakos due to injury concerns, meaning the left-back could miss the upcoming match.
On Lens' side, David Costa remains a doubt for the French team after the striker was substituted in the 26th minute of last week's victory against Panathinaikos.
Jimmy Cabot and Neil El Aynaoui are also unavailable due to injury, while Facundo Medina will be absent after receiving a red card in the 22nd minute of last Thursday's win.

Panathinaikos, after finishing fourth in the Greek Super League last season, had a good start in the Europa League but have struggled in recent matches. They lost 2-1 to Lens in the first leg of the Europa Conference League playoff.
Lens, under manager Will Still, are in impressive form with three wins in their first three official matches of the season. Despite playing with 10 men in the first leg, Lens still won 2-1 and have a significant advantage going into the second leg.
If Lens continue to maintain their current form, they are highly likely to maintain their advantage and advance to the group stage of the Europa Conference League. Panathinaikos will need a superb comeback to overcome the French team, especially given their struggles in defense and scoring goals.
