Setback for Ounahi: Complete tear requires surgery and could keep him out until March

Moroccan international Azzedine Ounahi has suffered a serious blow after it was confirmed he has a complete tear in the hamstring tendon in his right leg, requiring surgery. There are concerns that he could be sidelined for a long time for Panathinaikos.

According to Greek media reports, new medical examinations have shown that the Moroccan midfielder's injury is more serious than expected, after an MRI confirmed a complete tear in the tendon. This has led to the decision to undergo surgery to reduce the risks of relapse during the recovery phase.

Azzedine Ounahi suffered an injury during his team's match against Asteras Tripolis on Sunday, October 18, in the Greek league, in a game that ended with Panathinaikos winning 5-1, before the player left the pitch on a stretcher in the 19th minute.

Moroccan international Azzedine Ounahi is set to undergo surgery next Thursday, with the stages of his treatment and rehabilitation to be determined according to the progress of his health condition and his response to the treatment program.

Reports indicate that Azzedine Ounahi's potential return could be during the playoff stage of the Greek league in March, without a definitive date set for his return to competitions, which raises questions about his participation in the upcoming period.
