Panathinaikos striker Cyriel Dessers has resumed full training with the Greek club ahead of the 2026/27 season after spending about six months on the treatment table with a thigh injury, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 31-year-old endured a frustrating debut campaign in Greece as recurring injuries restricted him to just five Greek Super League appearances, in which he scored two goals.
Dessers’ injury problems disrupted his rhythm at club level, limiting his chances of building momentum after Panathinaikos paid €4.63m to sign the Belgium-born Nigerian from Rangers.
However, the Nigerian forward has revealed that he is back working towards peak fitness and expects to be available before the start of the new Greek Super League season in August.
Speaking to BN DeStem via VoetbalPrimeur, Dessers admitted last season was one of the most difficult of his professional career because of the persistent injury setbacks.
