Friday’s session was held in Toumba Stadium and consisted of a training match. After their warm-up routine, PAOK players split into two teams and played without restrictions, the Romanian tactician watching from the stands.

José Ángel Crespo sustained a knock in his calf and retired from the match out of precaution, his condition not being serious though. The internationals will join their respective national squads and there are no matches scheduled shortly. That is why Răzvan Lucescu gave his troops three days off, in order to rest physically and mentally after the recent turmoil.

PAOK’s next session is scheduled for Tuesday 20 March at 18:00 in Nea Mesimvria installations.
