Snowing at the peak…
PAOK proved in Livadia that they can withstand pressure and provide answers on the pitch. They emerged victorious from a tough away test and remain 8 points ahead of the second-placed team in the Super League standings.
Nea Mesimvria has its own, autonomous climate! Weather conditions, including snow, forced Răzvan Lucescu to keep his troops in the gym.
PAOK’s victory at Livadia was overshadowed by the injury of Pontus Wernbloom. On Tuesday morning, the Swedish player had an MRI that confirmed he suffered an Achilles tendon tear. He will undergo surgery and then faces a long time on the sidelines.
Wernbloom was the first to congratulate his team-mates on the victory earned in Livadia and joked with them, despite the pain and sadness for his injury. An additional sign of his strong character.
Maurício bruised his hamstring due to overextension and his condition will be assessed in upcoming days. Dimitris Pelkas and André Vieirinha continue their respective recovery programs.
Wednesday’s training session is scheduled to start at 10:30 in Toumba Stadium.
