The team’s last training session ahead of the game was held at the Toumba Stadium. The coach worked mainly with the players on the tactical aspects with an emphasis on build-up play, while there was also a special program to practise set pieces.

In detail, the players that the Romanian coach will have at his disposal are:

Kotarski, Balomenos, Monastirlis, Vieirinha, Sastre, Kedziora, Lovren, Kottas, Michailides, Gomez, Baba, Thymianis, Schwab, Kamara, Ozdoev, Konstantelias, Taison, Shoretire, A. Zivkovic, Despodov, Tissoudali, Samatta, Brandon.
