Return to trainings and tactics
After 17 encounters in two months, Vladan Ivić handed his players a two-day rest bonus. Their little break is over though and PAOK returned to trainings, starting preparations for their clash against AEK Athens.
The Serbian coach and his assistants chose to work on tactics and organized attack through a series of passing drills.
In the encounter against Olympiacos, Stelios Malezas suffered a quad strain and has been doing physiotherapy since then in order to return to action as soon as possible. The Greek defender continued his recovery program in the gym and will attempt to follow normal training on Thursday.
This is the only injury problem PAOK are facing. As for Djalma Campos, he has accumulated four cautions and will serve his ban in the encounter against AEL Larissa.
Thursday’s training session is scheduled to start at 12:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
