Ivić takes 20 players to Germany
Suspended Varela, Matos and Leovac, injured Cañas and non eligible Prijović, Kaçe will remain in Thessaloniki. The rest are preparing for their trip to Germany.
Vladan Ivić is making his plans for the second leg against FC Schalke 04 without these six players, without time luxury and with the added burden of a 0-3 defeat in the first leg.
On Monday, those who played against Veria followed a recuperation and decompression program. The rest went through ball passing drills and worked on their defensive tactics.
José Ángel Crespo trained normally and is at the disposal of his coach, along with Panagiotis Glykos and Željko Brkić who both complained of back pains. José Alberto Cañas continued his recovery program.
The following 20 players will travel to Germany on a chartered flight on Tuesday morning: Glykos, Brkić, Siampanis, Deligiannidis, Kitsiou, Malezas, Crespo, Pouggouras, Chatziisaias, Shakhov, Charisis, Cimirot, Pelkas , Biseswar, Mystakidis, Henrique, Campos, Warda, Koulouris, Athanasiadis.
Tuesday’s training session is scheduled to start at 18:00 (CET time) in Veltins-Arena (first 15 minutes open to media). PAOK’s press conference will be held at 17:00.
