PAOK completed their preparation with a training session at Toumba on Tuesday. The coach insisted again on tactics and practiced set pieces extensively, both in attacking and defensive situations.

Dimitris Salpingidis didn’t participate in training, as he underwent ergometrics to determine his readiness after his long injury absence. Dimitris Papadopoulos did warm-up alongside his teammates and then focused on his individual program with jogging, stretching and ball drills. Dimitris Konstantinidis did recuperation work with physical condition trainer Giannis Katsanikas, Eyal Golasa continued his physiotherapy and Αsterios Giakoumis did jogging.

Afterwards, Giorgos Georgiadis announced his 19 players for Wednesday’s match: Itandje, Glykos, Raț, Kitsiou, Skondras, Costa, Vítor, Tzavellas, Pougouras, Kace, Tziolis, Noboa, Maduro, K.Savvidis, Mak, Pozoglou, Athanasiadis, Pereyra and Koulouris.
