After the usual warm-up and a 5-2 drill, players engaged in finishing exercices and a training match 7×7, testing the reflexes of the goalkeepers. Panagiotis Glykos didn’t participate out of precaution –with a sore groin- and can very well consider himself lucky, as opposed to Μelissas and Siampanis who faced the firing squad!

Terry Antonis and Marin Leovac trained normally, while Gojko Cimirot, who is on the last stage of his recuperation program, went through personalized training on Friday. Dimitris Konstantinidis also trained on his own, while Stelios Malezas missed part of the practice out of precaution (he complained of hip pains) and Giannis Skondras was absent due to a viral infection.

Instead of standard training, PAOK senior team will face the U20s on Saturday (at Nea Mesimvria, on 16:00) and then the players will get to enjoy a two-day break.
