PAOK kicked off their preparation for the encounter against Ergotelis, just a few hours after their draw with Asteras Tripolis. Those who featured in the starting line-up on Saturday were treated to a special recuperation session consisting of physiotherapy and physical condition drills.

PAOK players worked on ball circulation, speed and strength and practiced their finishing through combinative drills. The session concluded with a reduced-pitch training match with restrictions as to the number of ball touches.

Fanis Tzandaris continued his recovery program in higher intensity while Hedwiges Maduro remained in the gym for physiotherapy and muscular strengthening drills. The Dutch midfielder is expected to be relieved of his elbow brace next week and begin jogging.

Monday’s training session is scheduled to start at 12.00 at Nea Mesimvria.
