Marin Leovac followed personalized training with rehab trainer Petar Milkanović and will be back at Vladan Ivić’s disposal on Wednesday.
Stefanos Athanasiadis suffered a knee bruise from a knock sustained during the encounter against Iraklis and, along with normal training, he did physiotherapy in the affected area.
Giorgos Tzavellas’s MRI proved that his rehabilitation is going according to plan. His condition has improved and he is doing strengthening drills and jogging on the pitch.
