Here’s the team news ahead of today’s game which will be shown live on ITV 1.
Greece are short of defenders for today’s game with Sokratis Papastathopoulos suspended for his red card on Friday and a cruciate ligament injury ruling out Avraam Papadopoulos ruled out after tearing his cruciate ligament.
