Players left their football boots in the dressrooms and followed trainer Leonidas Dimitrakopoulos’ instructions for a session focused on physical condition and muscular strengthening. The high winds at Nea Mesimvria wouldn’t allow football anyway.

PAOK players did combinative drills, practicing their endurance, speed, explosiveness and also lifting weights in the gym.

Injured Dimitris Papadopoulos, Fanis Tzandaris, Alexandros Tziolis and Hedwiges Maduro followed specialized training.

Wednesday’s training session will start at noon at Nea Mesimvria.
