Traore's Participation in Doubt for Shakhtar Against Panathinaikos

Concern has arisen within Shakhtar Donetsk as Lassina Traore left their recent match injured, just days before their first game against Panathinaikos in the Europa League third qualifying round (Thursday 7/8, 21:00) at OAKA.

The 24-year-old forward was substituted in the 53rd minute of the match against Epicentr due to a muscular injury, casting doubt on his participation in the game against Panathinaikos, according to Ukrainian media.

Elias, who replaced him, scored Shakhtar's only goal in the 1-0 away win.

Kevin was left out of the squad, likely to rest ahead of the match against Panathinaikos.
