The final… dress rehearsal for the match against the Akrites featured work on tactics and set-pieces, while at the start there were also running and fitness exercises and rondo. The session was rounded off with a friendly match with the players playing out of their natural positions.

Dimitris Pelkas completed the session but has been struggling with a twinge in his stomach muscles since the start of the week, and so will not travel to Xanthi. Jose Crespo and Leo Jaba also remain sidelined.

Paschalakis, Zivkovic, Matos, Rodrigo, Varela, Ingason, Giannoulis, Vieirinha , Esiti, Douglas, Mauricio, Misic, El Kaddouri, Biseswar, Lamprou, Limnios, Swiderski, Akpom.
