West HamCleared concussion protocol
Mavropanos is back available for Friday's clash against Wolverhampton after clearing concussion protocol, according to Nuno Espirito Santo. "Dinos is also clear of the concussion protocol"
Analysis: Mavropanos is back available for Friday's clash against Wolverhampton after clearing concussion protocol. The center-back remains an important defensive presence thanks to his physicality, aerial ability and aggressive style in duels, recording 35 tackles and 38 interceptions across all competitions this season. However, competition remains tight in the back line, with Mavropanos battling Jean-Clair Todibo and Axel Disasi for a place in the starting XI.
Set to return Friday
Mavropanos (head) was spotted in London Friday and is expected to be available for Friday's clash against Wolverhampton, as the player posted on his Instagram.
Analysis: Mavropanos is expected to be available for Friday's clash against Wolverhampton after being spotted back in London last Friday following his recent absence. The defender remains a solid option in the back line thanks to his physicality and aerial presence, recording 35 tackles and 38 interceptions in 27 appearances across all competitions this season, and his return could provide a boost to the back line.
Questionable to face Leeds United
Mavropanos (head) is questionable for Sunday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "We aren't at the point [of making a decision] yet. There's still one day to go, and then we'll make decisions. We're assessing all the players, especially some after the international break."
Analysis: Mavropanos will need some testing ahead of Sunday's FA Cup match, as the defender remains a late call after a head injury while on international duty. This will be something to monitor for the club, as Jean-Clair Todibo (calf) is also questionable, leaving the club with a gap in the defense if both are out. Axel Disasi will likely remain in a starting role either way, although Max Kilman may start next to him if Mavropanos and Todibo miss out.
Suffers head injury with Greece
Mavropanos suffered a blow to the head during Greece's 1-0 loss against Paraguay and will not travel with the squad for the upcoming fixture against Hungary in Budapest. according to Greek publication Sportal.
Analysis: The Greek international was forced out of international duty after sustaining a head injury during the defeat to Paraguay. The defender will now remain in Greece and has been ruled out of the upcoming friendly against Hungary in Budapest as a precautionary measure, with the national team's medical staff prioritizing his full recovery and making clear that no risks will be taken. His club will be monitoring his condition closely upon his return to determine his availability for upcoming fixtures, though the decision appears to be precautionary rather than an indication of any serious concern.
Scores via header
Mavropanos scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Mavropanos would see a rare goal Saturday, with the defender rising to hit home a header in the 35th minute, earning his club a draw. This is his first goal of the season, with only 16 shots all season in 23 appearances. He would also add three tackles, four interceptions and 10 clearances in the defense.
Busy in draw
Mavropanos recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Mavropanos recorded a variety of stats that helped his team to neutralize the visitors' threat during the week 27 matchup. In addition to his third clean sheet over the last four games across all competitions, he added to his tallies of 33 clearances, seven blocks and six interceptions during that span. He has also been reliable in aerial play, though he may continue to contribute mostly on his own half of the field, having yet to score a goal or assist this season.
Starting against Tottenham
Mavropanos (neck) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Tottenham.
Analysis: Mavropanos was reported to have suffered a significant neck injury that revealed to be minor since he is back available and starting in Saturday's clash against the Spurs. The Greek started the last three games across all competitions, claiming back his starter role that he should keep moving forward with the Hammers.
Neck injury confirmed
Mavropanos suffered an important neck injury during Sunday's clash against QPR and will have to be assessed and rested in upcoming fixtures, coach Nuno Espirito Santo said in a press conference. "Yeah, it was a neck injury. It was a nasty one. He's in pain. Let's assess him. But it was a neck injury. Let's see. For the couple of days he's going to need to rest."
Analysis: Mavropanos is set to miss some time after suffering an important neck injury in Sunday's clash against QPR in the Carabao Cup. The center-back will have to be assessed to know the extend of the issue and rested in upcoming fixtures to recover from the injury. Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo are expected to pair in central defense until the Greek returns to full fitness.
Stretchered off field
Mavropanos was taken off the field in the 45th minute of Sunday's match against QPR due to a serious head injury.
Analysis: Mavropanos had his day ended early Sunday with a scary injury, needing to be taken off the field via stretcher after suffering a head injury during a corner. Unfortunately, for the defender, this did look to be very serious, with his screams audible after clashing to the ground. He will likely be taken to a hospital for further testing, with the club losing its first defensive replacement if he misses time. Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo should continue as starters in the defense either way, although the club will hope to recover Mavropanos quickly after the scary scenes.
Own goal in loss
Mavropanos had an own goal, two tackles (two won), three clearances and four interceptions in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Aston Villa.
Analysis: Mavropanos had the misfortune of accounting for an own goal, but he otherwise delivered a solid effort, including nabbing a season-high four interceptions. It also marked just the second time this season that he recorded multiple tackles won in a match. Additionally, this marked the fourth time on the season that he accounted for at least 40 completed passes.
Finds starting XI
Mavropanos (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Liverpool.
Analysis: Mavropanos has appeared to have passed his testing and come through on the right side of his injury Sunday, as he is not only an option but in the starting XI. This is massive news after four games straight missed for the defender, now starting in six of his nine appearances on the team sheet this campaign.
Questionable for Sunday
Mavropanos (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "[Konstantinos] is getting better. We still have tomorrow to assess the players, so we will have to wait until then to make our final decisions."
Analysis: Mavropanos is going to need some testing ahead of Sunday's match, as the defender is still feeling some drawbacks of his hamstring injury. This comes after missing the last month of action for the club, last appearing Oct. 20. That said, it is unlikely he will be ready for starting time after the absence and being a late call, with a bench spot likely if deemed fit.
Remains out
Mavropanos (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Mavropanos suffered a hamstring injury against Brentford one month ago and has not played since then, missing three straight matches and being unavailable for Greece during the break. The defender will have to wait before making his return to the match squad since he wasn't deemed fit enough for Saturday's clash against the Cherries.
Will be assessed
Mavropanos (hamstring) will be assessed in order to determine his availability for Saturday's game at Bournemouth, manager Nuno Espirito Santo told media Thursday. "The players are recovering and getting better," he said on Thursday. "We still have tomorrow, and then we will decide."
Analysis: Mavropanos suffered a hamstring injury against Brentford on Oct. 20 and hasn't played since then, missing each of the Hammers' last three games and also failing to represent Greece during the break. It seems it'd be a long shot if Mavropanos were to play, given his lack of involvement in recent weeks. The defender has started in all but one of his six appearances this season.
Out until after break
Mavropanos (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Burnley and is eyeing a return following the international break, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "[Dinos is] improving. [He] is still doing individual work. We have the international break, and I'm hopeful he'll be back after that."
Analysis: Mavropanos has been out the past two weeks and will now carry his absence into another match, missing out Saturday. However, the defender is not going to miss much more time, as he will work towards his return after the international break, hopefully only missing the one match. He started in five of his eight appearances on the team sheet this season, so the club will hope for his return after the break, appearing to be on track for that after training individually this week.
Set to miss two weeks
Mavropanos (undisclosed) is expected to miss at least two weeks due to injury, coach Nuno Espirito Santos said in the press conference. "Dinos has started his fitness programme, and we expect it to be two weeks or so for him to be available."
Analysis: Mavropanos is expected to miss at least two weeks before being back available since he will undergo a fitness programme during that time to treat his injury. Mavropanos has been a regular starter for the Hammers this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the lineup, with Max Kilman or Jean-Clair Todibo as the main options to replace him.
Not an option Friday
Mavropanos (undisclosed) is out for Friday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santos. "Dinos [Mavropanos] is injured. He came off and he now has a scan to see the injury he has. I don't know exactly how long he'll be out, but he'll be missing on Friday."
Analysis: Mavropanos suffered an injury in Monday's contest and will now hit the sidelies, with the defender dealt an undisclosed injury. This is rough for the defender, as he has started in five of the club's eight games this season, a regular in the defense. He will now hope for a quick turnaround, with Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo likely to start at center-back while he is out.
Suffers injury Monday
Mavropanos (undisclosed) came off the bench at halftime in Monday's 2-0 loss against Brentford before being forced off in the 85th minute due to injury, leaving his teammates to finish the game with 10 men, according to the club.
Analysis: Mavropanos wasn't in the starting squad for Monday's clash against the Bees for the first time in five games, which could have been a precaution since the center-back played 40 minutes in the second half before being forced off injured five minutes before the final whistle, leaving his teammates one man down. Mavropanos will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and if he has to miss some time. If this is the case, Jean-Clair Todibo is expected to get a larger role in the backline.
Settling in starting role
Mavropanos has started in each of West Ham's last five Premier League matches.
Analysis: The Greek defender was an unused substitute in the first two games of the season. However, he moved into the XI after the 5-1 loss to Chelsea on Aug. 22 and never looked back. In his five starts this season, Mavropanos is averaging 0.8 shots, 1.4 tackles and 8.4 clearances per game. He registered a season-high 16 clearances against Arsenal on Oct. 4 in a 2-0 defeat.
Starts in Carabao cup
Mavropanos played the full 90 during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Wolves in the Carabao Cup.
Analysis: Mavropanos lost his starting job at the end of last season, and hasn't regained it to kick off the 2025/26 campaign. He got some run during Tuesday's Carabao Cup loss, but he failed to impress. The defender will continue as a depth option throughout the backline as West Ham look to turn around their awful start to the campaign.
