Wednesday’s training session focused on tactics for the Greek Cup match and included set-piece practice. The players who started the Levadiakos encounter did decompression work.

Maurício did physiotherapy and his condition is improving. He is expected to make it in time for Sunday’s match against PAS Giannina, just like Dimitris Pelkas who has been training at a higher pace. Stelios Kitsiou is ruled out of Thursday’s game due to a left quad strain.

Yevhen Shakhov has been granted a leave of absence for personal reasons and will not participate in PAOK’s last two encounters for 2018. André Vieirinha and Pontus Wernbloom are also sidelined due to injury.

The 18 players picked by Răzvan Lucescu for the game against Aittitos Spata:

Rey, Glykos, Toșca, Malezas, Khacheridi, Varela, Crespo, Cañas, Biseswar, Jabá, Warda, Limnios, Prijović, Akpom, Karelis, Balogiannis, Lyratzis, Tsiggaras.
