Olympiakos Sweating On The Fitness Of Key Striker Brown Ideye

Olympiakos may be without Brown Ideye when they tackle Asteras Tripolis in the Super League next Wednesday.

The Nigeria international is not yet in tip-top condition after suffering an injury against PAS Giannina in the penultimate round of matches before the winter break.

Because of the ailment, Ideye was not utilized when the Reds faced Sparta (Cup) and Panaitolikos (Super League).

A transfer from Olympiakos in the January transfer window cannot be entirely ruled out, but the Greek champions have told suitors to cough up a minimum of €10 million for their Nigerian star.
