Manolis Saliakas
29-Year-Old
FC St. Pauli
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 5/16/2026
Suffers structural muscle injury
Saliakas (undisclosed) has been ruled out for the time being with a structural muscle injury, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Saliakas had already missed Sunday's defeat against Mainz with muscular problems, and the confirmation of a structural injury is a more serious diagnosis that extends his absence without a specific return timeline. The Greek right-back's unavailability is an additional defensive concern for St. Pauli heading into the final fixtures of their Bundesliga campaign, with Adam Dzwigala expected to continue covering in the back line alongside Arkadiusz Pyrka during his absence.
