AEK: Anxiety and Dilemma for Nikolic Ahead of Playoffs

AEK is facing anxiety over the return of its twelve international players ahead of the playoffs, as well as a dilemma regarding the possible postponement of the match against Panathinaikos and PAOK. The team continues its training without the internationals, waiting for their return for the start of the playoffs and the quarter-final against Rayo Vallecano. Marko Nikolic hopes there will be no injuries during the international commitments. At the same time, he is considering the possibility of requesting a postponement for the match against Panathinaikos, which is scheduled between the two semi-finals against Rayo Vallecano. Nikolic, known for his preference for competitive continuity, may change his stance due to the criticality of the matches.
