Panathinaikos vs Motherwell preview - Humphrey sits out Greece trip

Motherwell wideman Chris Humphrey will miss the second leg of the Steelmen's Champions League third qualifier against Panathinaikos in Greece.

Humphrey injured himself at Ross County in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League at the weekend and did not travel with the Fir Park men, who are looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first game in Lanarkshire.

Midfielder Stuart Carswell has recovered from a knee injury and teenage striker Lee Erwin has been added to the squad.

Manager Stuart McCall accepts his side's Champion's League fate rests on scoring the first goal.

He said: "We are going to have to defend very well and obviously getting the first goal is going to be key.

"If we can manage that, who knows but it's a big ask.

"We have to make sure we are competitive, put on a good show and learn from the experience.

"We are not naive. We know we are going to be at our very best, we are going to have to defend well and get that bit of luck.

"If they are at their best it could be a long night for us but we have to be a tight unit first and foremost."
