The heavy rainfall affected the pitch of Toumba Stadium and the plans of Angelos Anastasiadis for PAOK’s last training session ahead of Thursday’s encounter against Dinamo Minsk. The players engaged in light jogging and physical condition drills.

Stelios Kitsiou and Eyal Golasa trained normally and have been green-lighted by the medical staff, while Hedwiges Maduro trained in lighter pace. Kyriakos Savvidis is sidelined with the flu and went home after getting a medicine prescription. Dimitris Konstantinidis followed his recuperation program, Giorgos Tzavellas did physiotherapy. As for Facundo Pereyra, he followed a special program due to quadriceps pains. His condition will be reevaluated early on Thursday when it will be decided if he will be included in Angelos Anastasiadis’ plans for the group stage opener.

After the training session, PAOK players dined in the 4th floor of Toumba. On Thursday morning there is a light training session scheduled and afterwards they will retire at Makedonia Palace Hotel, until the evening.
