Squad announced for the trip to Russia
A coach doesn’t have many options on the eve or in the aftermath of a game, so Tuesday’s training session was Igor Tudor’s only real opportunity to prepare his troops for the game against FC Krasnodar.
Therefore it was expected that the Croatian tactician would focus on tactics and show his players what is expected of them on Thursday.
Regarding the medical report, Marin Leovac who limped out of the encounter against Asteras Tripolis on Sunday, has sustained an edema in the left hamstring and will remain on the sidelines for a month.
Miguel Vítor who also has a left hamstring problem followed a special program and will go through a late fitness test on Wednesday evening, in the team’s training session in Krasnodar. Jairo’s medical tests came out clean from any groin problem. The Brazilian did personalized decompression training and won’t follow the team anyway to Russia as he is suspended for the match.
The list of players traivelling to Russia consists of: Olsen, Glykos, Melissas, Malezas, Tzavellas, Costa, Skondras, Vítor, Kitsiou, Sabo, Tziolis, Golasa, Charisis, Korovesis, Rodrigues, Mak, Pelkas , Athanasiadis, Κ.Savvidis, Cimirot.
