Afterwards Angelos Anastasiadis announced the 20 players for Sunday’s game and had a pleasant surprise in store for Achilleas Pouggouras, who saw his name included in the seniors’ squad list for the first time.

The twenty players who boarded the bus for Xanthi: Athanasiadis, Vítor, Glykos, Golasa, Itandje, Kace, Kitsiou, Konstantinidis, Mak, Martens, Papadopoulos, Pereyra, Pozatzidis, Pouggouras, Raț, Salpingidis, Savvidis, Spyropoulos, Τzandaris, Tziolis.
