Panathinaikos striker Vangelis Mantzios has been added to the Greece squad for their remaining Euro 2008 qualifiers against Malta and Hungary.

German coach Otto Rehhagel originally named a 21-player squad, leaving out experienced striker Angelos Charisteas, but added the 24-year-old Mantzios yesterday.

The striker made his debut against Georgia in a World Cup qualifier just over two years ago and won the last of his six caps in a friendly against South Korea in February.

Greece, who have already qualified for next year's finals in Austria and Switzerland, host Malta on Saturday before playing in Hungary the following Wednesday.
