Training in two groups
A few hours after eliminating FC Olimpik Donetsk in Toumba Stadium, players and coaching stuff returned to work, in Nea Mesimvria, for Friday’s training session.
The players split into two groups. Those who started Thursday’s encounter, along with Pedro Henrique, followed a recuperation session in the gym and the pool.
The rest went out on the pitch and, after the usual warm-up, they engaged in 5v2 games of possession and passing and sealed training with a mini match.
Stefanos Athanasiadis participated in the program of the second group, as he recovered from the groin pains that ruled him out of the encounter against the Ukrainians.
José Alberto Cañas, who had to retire during the Toumba match, will follow a special recovery program throughout the weekend.
Aleksandar Stanojević has given his troops Saturday off. The players will return to work on Sunday, at 10:00, in Nea Mesimvria.
