Panathinaikos ace Michael Essien stormed out of training on Sunday and remains a doubt for Wednesday’s league match against Levadiakos.

The former Chelsea midfielder remains a huge doubt for the midweek clash but will undergo tests on today to ascertain the degree of damage.

According to a club statement, Essien could not complete the training session because of abdominal discomforts.

The “Greens” do not want to risk a new injury and for this reason are skeptical on whether to used him in the upcoming match.

Essien joined Panathinaikos this summer on a free transfer after leaving AC Milan.
