Pantelis Chatzidiakos - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Holds his own against Juventus Hatzidiakos generated four tackles (three won), one block, four clearances and three interceptions in Friday's 2-2 draw against Juventus.

Impact Hatzidiakos had a very respectable display even though the opponents found a way to score twice in this one. He has resurfaced as the coach switched back to a three-man defense in the last two games against top-notch adversaries. It remains to be seen whether the tweak is permanent. He had been an unused sub for four straight matches before the last two rounds, where he has totaled four tackles three won), six interceptions and nine clearances.

Unused against Salernitana Hatzidiakos (foot) didn't come off the bench in Saturday's 4-2 win over Salernitana.

Impact Hatzidiakos was back on the game-day squad list after a month, but he has at least three center-backs ahead of him in the depth chart, and Cagliari have been playing consistently with a four-man line lately.

On bench Saturday Hatzidiakos (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Salernitana.

Impact Hatzidakos makes his return to the team sheet Saturday, earning a role on the bench and ending a five-match absence due to knee issues. The defender should be expected to remain on the bench now that he is healthy, earning time here and there but mainly going unused on the bench, as he has taken a backseat role over the past couple of months.

Called up for Salernitana fixture Hatzidiakos (knee) has been included in Cagliari's squad list for Saturday's game versus Salernitana.

Impact Hatzidiakos is good to go after sitting out a month due to a tibial plateau fracture. He didn't have a consistent role before the injury, plus Cagliari added Yerry Mina in January, who has been a day-out starter. He has notched seven tackles (three won), three interceptions and 12 clearances in his last five appearances, with no clean sheets.

Suffers serious injury Hatzidiakos sustained a right tibial plateau fracture in training, Cagliari announced.

Impact Hatzidiakos will rest for a few days and then start rehabbing. He's not expected to have surgery to address the issue, but he'll be out for the foreseeable future. Cagliari added Yerry Mina in January, plus Adam Obert resurfaced in the past game. The duo and Mateusz Wieteska will absorb his minutes.

Unused againt Frosinone Hatzidiakos (thigh) didn't play in Sunday's 3-4 loss to Frosinone.

Impact Hatzidiakos didn't return to the XI as the coach stuck with Edoardo Goldaniga and Alberto Dossena, who didn't have a good game despite the win. The hierarchy in the back is still fluid, so he should get another shot in the coming matches.

Set to be back versus Frosinone Hatzidiakos (thigh) will be an option against Frosinone after a clean week of practice, L'Unione Sarda informed.

Impact Hatzidiakos re-joined his teammates in practice shortly after sitting out the past fixtures and will compete with Edoardo Goldaniga, Mateusz Wietska, and Adam Obert to join Alberto Dossena in the back. He'll have better chances of making the XI if the coach switches back to three-man defense. He has logged 11 tackles, three interceptions, and seven clearances in five games, with no clean sheets.

Will miss Salernitana game Hatzidiakos (thigh) "won't be risked versus Salernitana," coach Claudio Ranieri announced.

Impact Hatzidiakos has been limited in practice by an ailment after international duties and will be given another week to recover. Adam Obert is the top candidate to replace him in the back. Instead, Paulo Azzi and Jakub Jankto would start if the coach preferred using a four-man line.

Sustains small injury on international duty Hatzidiakos trained on the side Tuesday due to a right thigh bruise, Cagliari announced.

Impact Hatzidiakos reported back early after starring with Greece due to the issue, but the tests confirmed it was minor. He has a handful of days to recover ahead of Sunday's clash with Salernitana. Otherwise, Adam Obert would likely be in the XI.

Makes Cagliari debut Hatzidiakos had one tackle (zero won), two clearances and one interception in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Udinese.

Impact Hatzidiakos got the nod over Adam Obert with the coach opting for a three-man defense and looked good although he didn't fill it up like his teammates in the back. He's poised for another start against Atalanta since Mateusz Wieteska was sent off.
