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.
Dealing with muscular problems
Saliakas missed Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Mainz due to muscular problems, according to Hamburger Abendblatt.
Analysis: Saliakas' absence forced a reshuffle in St. Pauli's back line, with Lars Ritzka stepping in on the left and Arkadiusz Pyrka switching from left to right defensive flank to cover. With Ritzka himself now also carrying a back issue following the match, Adam Dzwigala could be in line for a larger role if both defenders need time on the sidelines heading into the final fixtures of St. Pauli's Bundesliga campaign.
