On Saturday, players and coaching staff continued their work ahead of the Moscow game. The session started with the usual warm-up routine, then engaged in possession games before splitting into two groups.

While one was working with the coach on attacking deployment and transition, the other would play a training match and vice versa. The session concluded with a 10v10 game.

José Ángel Crespo returned to training, after enjoying a leave of absence to attend the birth of his daughter. No players are in the medical report and everyone is at Răzvan Lucescu’s disposal for the encounter against FC Spartak Moscow.

Sunday’s training session is scheduled to start at 09:30 in Toumba Stadium. Then the squad will go to Makedonia Airport to board their flight to Russia.
