The PAOK squad are ready for departure. Next stop, Edinburgh, the next challenge Hearts, en route to the 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. The players head to Scotland with only one goal in mind, that of taking the first step towards qualification.
The training session on Tuesday (22.08) was dedicated to tactics, with the team working through several drills and games, while there was also a special program the players worked through that was focused on practicising set-pieces.
Ali Samatta continued to have some discomfort and will not travel with the team, while Felipe Soares continued to train individually. Razvan Lucescu cannot count on Baba wither, who is suspended.
