PAOK coaching staff has opted for a combination of physical condition drills and tactics during the league break. Angelos Anastasiadis’ aim is to have his players as fit as possible for the encounter against Panathinaikos in Leoforos and then for the remainder of the season. That is why on Friday the session consisted of physical condition drills.

PAOK players did sprints and endurance drills under the watchful eye of Leonidas Dimitrakopoulos. They were also treated to their usual 5-2 routine. For the encounter against Panathinaikos, Anastasiadis cannot count on Fanis Tzandaris and Dimitris Papadopoulos who are following their recuperation routine, nor on Alexandros Tziolis or Hedwiges Maduro, who are doing physiotherapy. Ergys Kace is also sidelined through suspension.

On Saturday 7 March, the team will hold their training session at 12.00 at Toumba Stadium and then they will travel to Athens.
