Soccer-Greek Defender Georgatos out of Albania Qualifier 

ATHENS, Oct 11, 2000 -- (Reuters) Greece will be without defender Grigoris Georgatos when they face neighbors Albania in their group nine World Cup qualifier on Wednesday.

The left back pulled up with a leg injury in the second half of Greece's 1-0 win over Finland on Saturday.

Neither AEK midfielder Vassilis Tsartas nor Ajax Amsterdam striker Nikos Machlas were fit enough to make the trip and the latter's place is likely to go to 20-year-old Lambros Houtos who led the line impressively against Finland.

Greece has never won in Albania.
