Regarding transfer reinforcements, Matthaiou mentioned that the coach needs time to evaluate the roster and determine the team's needs.

Finally, he informed about the team's departure for London on Tuesday morning, emphasizing that all tickets are sold out and that the team will have the support of approximately 2,500 fans.
