Time to qualify
The switch has been flipped, the much-needed victory arrived, and the team’s confidence is up. Now it’s time to qualify in the Greek Cup. PAOK has a significant 5-1 lead from the first -leg of their semi-final tie with Lamia, and welcome their opponents with the aim of sealing their place in another Greek Cup final.
The players who were in the starting XI for Sunday’s (09.04) game followed a recovery and rehabilitation program on the pitch, in the gym and in the swimming pool. The rest of the squad executed a high-intensity training program that included warm-ups, possession games, tactics and a friendly doubler-header.
Joan Sastre had an MRI which showed he has some swelling in his right thigh, and so he will be rested over the next few days and do light training in order to be available when the league fixtures resume. Andre Ricardo has some discomfort in his right hip and will be out of training for the week at least. The two players underwent physio treatment, as did Omar El Kaddouri, who will undergo an MRI on Tuesday (11.04).
Douglas Augusto, who took a knock on his knee, has received treatment and is in stable condition. The Brazilian will follow a conservative program in the coming days. Tomas Kedziora and Jasmin Kurtic both worked individually.
On Tuesday (11.04) PAOK will train at 11:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
