Greece vs Scotland: Galanopoulos Replaces Siopis in Squad

Kostas Galanopoulos has been called up urgently to the national team after Manolis Siopis accumulated cards and will not be able to play in the match against Scotland in Glasgow (Sunday, March 25, 2023, at 7:00 PM). Galanopoulos, who plays for APOEL, has recorded eight appearances with the Greece National Team, with his most recent being on November 21, 2023, in the 2-2 draw against France at the ‘OPAP Arena’. Although he was included in the squad for the Finland match (3-0) on September 7, 2024, he did not compete, and in the following six games, he was not selected. The former AEK player moved to Cyprus in January and has established himself as a key player for APOEL, making 13 appearances and scoring one goal. It is worth noting that Siopis received a yellow card during the 1-0 loss against Scotland, resulting in the experienced player being suspended for the rematch and ineligible to participate.
