Greece's central defender Avraam Papadopoulos will miss the rest of the European Championship after picking up a ligament injury to his left leg in Friday's opening 1-1 draw with co-host Poland.
Team officials said on Saturday that the 27-year-old was due to fly back to Greece later in the day.
Papadopoulos was helped off the pitch in the 37th minute after what initially appeared to be a harmless challenge from Poland's Robert Lewandowski in the Group A game.
The Olympiakos defender played a key role in Greece's qualifying campaign for Euro 2012.
