PAOK players were treated to a very intense session on Tuesday evening, as Giorgos Georgiadis and his staff tested their endurance.

After the usual warm-up, the “Double-Headed Eagle’s” troops went through high-intensity drills focused on strength, pace and endurance. Second part of training consisted of reduced-pitch games and man-to-man duels of four vs four.

Alexandros Tziolis trained normally, having recovered from a viral infection, as did Facundo Pereyra who was complaining of pain in the abdominal muscles last week. Hedwiges Maduro didn’t participate in the four vs four games, to avoid hurting his injured arm, and worked on his physical condition instead.

Christian Noboa returned from Ecuador and followed a special program of physical condition exercises, while Dimitris Salpingidis has started bike drills after his surgery in the right foot. Wednesday’s training session will kick off at Nea Mesimvria at 17.00.
