After training, Angelos Anastasiadis announced his 20-men squad for Thursday’s encounter. It consists of: Giakoumis, Itandje, Athanasiadis, Deligiannidis, Golasa, Skondras, Κitsiou, Κoulouris, Μartens, Pozatzidis, Papadopoulos, Pozoglou, Savvidis, Spyropoulos, Tzandaris, Τziolis, Patralis, Τsolakidis, Κakko, Vasaitis.

PAOK doctor Giorgos Ikonomidis subjected Giorgos Tzavellas’ left groin muscle to PRP treatment for the second time. PRP is a weekly therapy that aims to intensify normal healing response by delivering a high concentration of a person’s own platelet cells to the site of the injury.
