AEK Sakota: Brown's injury will be a major absence

AEK Athens lost 74-83 to Panathinaikos at SUNEL Arena. The main talking point from the match was Greg Brown's Achilles injury. Brown's test results are awaited.

Head coach Dragan Sakota spoke to Sport FM TV at the end of the match. Sakota said Brown would be out of action for a long time. Asked about footage suggesting Brown injured himself, he said that however it happened, it was an injury.

Sakota stressed that the team has suffered many injuries this season. In his view, five players being unavailable is not an acceptable situation. He also reminded that Lekavičius and Ertel had been injured earlier. He said the problems in defensive and offensive organization stem from these absences.

It was announced that AEK captain Flionis also suffered an abdominal muscle injury during the match. The player will also undergo an MRI scan. Sakota asked for support from the fans and said there is currently no option in the transfer market.
