PAOK players are ready to return to league action after 17 days. On Saturday evening, they will set foot again on the revamped pitch of Toumba Stadium, in order to complete preparations for the first of four back to back matches in league, Europe and Greek Cup…

Friday’s training session was held under the floodlights of Nea Mesimvria and consisted of tactical drills with a mini tournament of three groups in reduced pitch. Stefanos Athanasiadis continued his physiotherapy. His participation in the Sunday match will be decided on Saturday, where he will attempt to join full training. If he complains of any pain in the groin or thigh, he will be ruled out. Giorgos Tzavellas remains sidelined but is gradually picking up his training rhythm.

Pozoglou, Deligiannidis and Savvidis trained today with the U20s and participate in the Saturday’s game against Atromitos for the Superleague U20.
