Cyriel Dessers has been confirmed to miss the remainder of the 2025/26 season after choosing to undergo surgery for a lingering thigh injury.
This issue has persisted for several months and was thoroughly evaluated by the medical team at Panathinaikos. After careful consideration, the club determined that surgery was necessary, as the injury had not improved through non-surgical treatments.
As reported by Sportal Greece, the decision to opt for surgery was made promptly to avoid further complications and ensure a full recovery.
