Because of the light session, players got the opportunity to “compete” in direct free-kicks and demonstration of their technique, with the coaching staff encouraging them from the sidelines.

Kyriakos Savvidis, who had complained of calf pains following this participation in the Greece U21 game, underwent medical tests that confirmed an edema in the right calf that will keep him away from trainings for the next 4-5 days. Gojko Cimirot, Dimitris Konstantinidis and Stelios Kitsiou followed individual training, while Giannis Mystakidis went through physiotherapy.

PAOK’s last training session before their encounter against Iraklis at Kaftanzoglio will start on Saturday at 17.00 in their Nea Mesimvria sporting centre.
