Preparing for the last stretch
PAOK players rested on Monday, both physically and mentally, and returned to work on Tuesday to begin preparations for Sunday’s away match against AEL.
Those who featured against Lamia did recuperation and decompression work on the pitch, the gym and the pool. The rest practiced their possession and passing skills through various drills.
Chuba Akpom and Léo Jabá did physiotherapy with the assistance of the medical staff. The English forward has sustained a diaphyseal fracture of the 3rd metacarpal in his right hand, but no dislocation. He is wearing a hand brace and, when the swelling subsides, he will start jogging. The Brazilian is complaining of hip pains and continues his personalized program.
Diego Biseswar, who suffered a groin injury after the Lamia game, participated in the decompression session of the team and then did physiotherapy. He will follow a conservative program for the next two days.
As for Omar El Kaddouri, he received his fourth booking on Sunday. He will serve his ban in the game against PAS Giannina.
Wednesday’s training session is scheduled to start at 11:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
