In the only full training held between Thursday’s European encounter and Sunday’s match against Panionios, Vladan Ivić worked on tactics, preparing his players for the clash against Panionios. He gave them specific guidelines and carved out a clear playing plan, for PAOK to return to the Thessaloniki with the three-pointer.

The only player who didn’t go out on the pitch to train was Djalma Campos, who did physiotherapy in his sore groin. After the training session, the “Double-Headed Eagle’s” coach chose his troops for the trip to Athens. The squad consists of: Glykos, Brkić, Tzavellas, Malezas, Varela, Leovac, Matos, Crespo, Kitsiou, Cañas, Charisis, Shakhov, Cimirot, Biseswar, Thiam, Rodrigues, Mystakidis, Pereyra, Athanasiadis, Koulouris.
