Vladan Ivić focused on the tactical approach of the game and ball passing with attacking automatisms. The final part of the session was all about set pieces, in attacking and defending situations.

Alexandros Tziolis trained normally and is at the disposal of Ivić. On the contrary, Τerry Antonis suffered a back injury and he was left off the game squad. Garry Rodrigues returns to a match list after his injury, but Jairo and Panagiotis Glykos remained off it as they haven’t yet reached the desired fitness level.

Kristi Kushta is the newcomer in PAOK squad, being brought from the U20s to provide an alternative for the attacking line. The coach cannot count on the injured Dimitar Berbatov, Dimitris Konstantinidis, Dimitris Chatziisaias, Gojko Cimirot and the suspended Stelios Kitsiou, Róbert Mak. Κakko and Dimitriadis will play for the U20s.

The 18 players called for the AEL Kalloni game are: Vellidis, Melissas, Vítor, Tzavellas, Malezas, Skondras, Leovac, Korovesis, Charisis, Kace, Tziolis, Sabo, Golasa, Mystakidis, Pelkas , Athanasiadis, Rodrigues, Kushta.
