Tuesday’s training session ended with Facundo Pereyra complaining of pains in the left groin. He was ruled out of the encounter against ACF Fiorentina and will do an MRI in order that will reveal the extent of his injury.

This is the second absence in his frontline that Vladan Ivić has to deal with, as he can’t count on suspended Stefanos Athanasiadis either. As for José Ángel Crespo and Garry Rodrigues, they went through training without problems and will travel to Florence.

The menu consisted of finishing practice following organized counterattacks with numerical superiority and passing game drills. They also did lots of tactical work, as PAOK head coach explained to his players how he wants them to move in “Artemio Franchi”.

Here is the 19-player list issued by PAOK head coach: Glykos, Brkić, Leovac, Τzavellas, Κitsiou, Matos, Varela, Crespo, Cañas, Charisis, Shakhov, Biseswar, Cimirot, Rodrigues, Mystakidis, Pelkas , Thiam, Campos, Koulouris.

Players and coaching staff are boarding a chartered flight to Florence on Wednesday at 11:30. Their last training session before the match will start at 19:00 (local time) in the home ground of ACF Fiorentina. Vladan Ivić and José Ángel Crespo will hold their press conference at 18:00.
