Tziolis earns Rehhagel reward

Tziolis return
Tziolis won his only cap last January in a friendly against Korea Republic but has not featured since that 1-1 draw. However, the 21-year-old returns to the fold after impressing in Panathinaikos's recent league and UEFA Cup victories against Olympiacos CFP and FK Mladá Boleslav.

Dellas return
Rehhagel also welcomes back AEK Athens FC defender Traianos Dellas, who missed last month's UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifying wins against Norway and Bosnia-Herzegovina through injury. But Angelos Charisteas, Loukas Vintra and Christos Patsatzoglou remain sidelined, while Theodoros Zagorakis brought down the curtain on his international career in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
