Ex-Fortune Tzolis misses Nations League duel for Greece

The 24‑year‑old Arsenal striker Christos Tzolis, once dubbed an ex‑fortune, is missing for the Nations League second leg between Greece and the DFB team. On Thursday evening he suffered a thigh injury in the 2‑2 draw against the Netherlands and will miss the match on Sunday at 20:45 in Thessaloniki. His market value is listed at 40 million euros.

Injury in the match against the Netherlands

The mishap occurred in the 18th minute, when Tzolis, after a sprint, struck the back of his right thigh and had to be replaced by Georgios Masouras. Five minutes earlier, a goal by former Düsseldorf player Vangelis Pavlidis had been disallowed for offside. Coach Ivan Jovanovic opted for the substitution out of caution.

With a market value of 40 million euros, Tzolis is currently the highest‑rated Greek footballer and historically ranks second behind Konstantinos Manolas, who reached 45 million euros in December 2018. The figure underscores his importance for Arsenal and the national team.

Nations League duel without Tzolis

Tzolis will return to London over the weekend, but the length of his recovery remains unclear. Further information on his absence will be provided only after a medical examination.

The upcoming Nations League duel takes place on Sunday at 20:45 in Thessaloniki and will be broadcast live on RTL. Greece must now line up without its regular top scorer, while the DFB team relies on its usual strength.
