The coaching staff plan to take full advantage of the brief ‘break’ by working on correcting some of the errors that hindered the team in recent weeks, in order for the team to be in the best shape possible for the start of the Play Offs.

Friday’s (06.03) training session included work on the practice pitches with rondo, possession games and passing within limited spaces. There was also a friendly match and finishing drills at the end.

There were plenty of absentees from the training pitches as some players undertook lighter programs as a precaution. Both Dimitris Giannoulis and Omar El Kaddouri did some light wind-down exercises. Mauricio, Dimitris Pelkas and Vieirinha remained in the gym, swimming pool and with the physiotherapy staff. The Brazilian midfielder is nursing a knock, while The Joker continued to work on overcoming is stomach muscle twinges, while the captain is nursing a minor knock on his knee, which had kept him out of the match against Olympiacos.

Fernando Varela, Leo Jaba and Jose Crespo all continued their indiviual injury recovery programs.

Over the weekend the players will have two days off, with the exception of those who are nursing injuries, who will report in at Nea Mesimvria for their treatment. Full training will resume once more on Monday (09.03) at 17:00 at the club’s training headquarters.
