PAOK held their Friday training in the morning at Nea Mesimvria. Those who played followed a recuperation session, with light drills, massage and hydrotherapy. The remaining players went through a tactical session, with training games in reduced space.

Giorgos Katsikas did physiotherapy as a precaution, as he still complains of groin pains. He is however expected to train normally on Saturday. Eyal Golasa still works apart from his teammates, but he is picking up to gradually reach the required rhythm and rejoin normal training. Kyriakos Savvidis followed part of the session, but was spared of the rest as he hasn’t recovered yet fully from his sprain. Maarten Martens suffered a knock in the thorasic spine during the match and will undergo further medical tests. As for Stelios Kitsiou, he complained of pains in the iliopsoas muscle after the encounter and his condition will be reevaluated on Saturday.

PAOK will hold their last training session before the Crete game on Saturday at 11.00 at Toumba Stadium.
