AEK: Three 'Excluded' Players Return Early

Three AEK players, Strakosha, Marin, and Pilios, will return earlier from their national teams due to their countries' elimination from the World Cup playoffs. Strakosha and Pilios lost their chance with Albania, while Marin did with Romania. These players will join AEK's training sessions ahead of the league playoffs. Strakosha and Marin are expected to be starters in the match against Olympiacos, while Pilios will be absent due to suspension. Nine other AEK internationals remain with their national teams, with Pineda returning last.
