To cope with back-to-back games in the league, Greek Cup and UEFA Europa League the coaching staff need to manage the players’ endurance and stamina cautiously. Therefore a light recuperation session was in store for the majority of the footballers on Monday, as the encounter with ACF Fiorentina is just around the corner.

Răzvan Raț and Róbert Mak were submitted to MRIs in order to assess the exact nature of their respective injuries. The Romanian international has suffered a left groin strain (edema included) and won’t be available for Thursday’s game. His return to action will depend on his body’s reaction to the special treatment he has been undergoing since Monday evening.

Mak has sustained a first degree thigh strain and will be sidelined for 7-10 days.

Giannis Skondras put on his football shoes for the first time since suffering the ankle injury against ACF Fiorentina and followed part of a session consisting mainly of technical and tactical drills in reduced space.

Tuesday’s training session is scheduled to start at 17.00 at Nea Mesimvria.
