Club Atletico de Madrid's Nikolaidis picked up a calf injury during a training session last week and doctors fear he might miss Greece's first two matches in Group A against Portugal and Spain. Meanwhile, FC Internazionale midfielder Giorgos Karagounis has been undergoing treatment for a swollen ankle.
