In the last session before Wednesday’s game, Giorgos Georgiadis chose to rest his players with a low intensity training consisting of warm-up, 5-2 and reduced-space games.

His last minute problem regards Panagiotis Glykos. The Greek international goalkeeper complained of shoulder pains. He has been included in the squad, but his condition will be assessed before the game.

With respect to the rest of the medical report, Miguel Vítor and Stefanos Athanasiadis trained normally despite still complaining of pains. Dimitris Konstantinidis went through the whole session but in his own pace, as was the case with Dimitris Salpingidis. Róbert Mak has a bruised back and did physiotherapy –his participation will be decided on the day of the match. Eyal Golasa and Panagiotis Deligiannidis continued their recovery work with jogging.

Giorgos Georgiadis opted to take along all available players: Itandje, Glykos, Giakoumis, Raț, Skondras, Kitsiou, Costa, Vítor, Tzavellas, Pougouras, Papagiannopoulos, Kace, Tziolis, Noboa, Maduro, K.Savvidis, Mak, Pozoglou, Athanasiadis, Papadopoulos, Pereyra, Koulouris.
