Monday’s training was held at Nea Mesimvria. Before the session, Dimitris Salpingidis, Stefanos Athanasiadis, Ergys Kace, Giannis Skondras, Stelios Kitsiou and Răzvan Raț were submitted to blood tests in order to check out their fatigue level and plan their training accordingly. The same procedure will be followed by Facundo Pereyra and Miguel Vítor on Tuesday morning.

Training consisted of tactical drills in reduced space. Those who played against Panionios followed a recover training of less intensity. Stefanos Athanasiadis complained of pains from a knock sustained in the quadriceps during Saturday’s encounter and remained in the gym for physiotherapy.

Alexandros Tziolis continued his personalized training with physical condition drills and recuperation in the pool, Giorgos Katsikas went on with his comeback program, Panagiotis Deligganidis trained apart from his teammates and Panagiotis Glykos did physiotherapy.

Dimitris Papadopoulos has accumulated four yellow cards and will miss the encounter against Niki Volos. As for Sotiris Papagiannopoulos, his letter of clearance is OK, but the 24-year old defender is suspended for PAOK’s next match due to his dismissal in his last match at Assyriska FF.

PAOK will hold their Tuesday training session at Toumba Stadium (12.30) and then will leave for Corfu, for their match against AO Kerkyra for the last matchday of the Greek Cup group stage.
