After the Friday’s (13.08) necessary break to clear the mind and rest their collective bodies, the PAOK squad and staff returned to training and began the preparations for the first match against the Croatians at the Toumba next Thursday ( 19.08) at 21:00.

Razvan Lucescu and his associates prepared a program which was focused on movement of the ball, while the players also practiced some finishing via a series of drills, and finally in the last part of the session a mini match was played within restricted spaces.

Douglas Augusto and Jose Crespo trained normally with the main group, while Andelino Vieirinha had a scheduled wind-down session. Nelson Oliveira began some treatment for his injury.

On Sunday (15.08) PAOK will train at 09:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
