All present and accounted for
The international players have returned, the treatment room is virtually empty, and the Double-headed Eagle’s coaching team are finalizing their plans with more or less a full complement of players.
Swiderski and Ingason were the last two players to return from international duty and reintegrate with the squad after the March internartionals. And so Friday’s (02.04) training session was the only one with all of the players included.
The program was devoted mainly to tactics. After the warm-up and some stretching and rondo, defenders and attackers worked separately on the final tactical details for the derby clash away against Panathinaikos. The session concluded with a three-team tournament.
Enea Mihaj is the only player still on the injured list. The Albanian defender continued his long-term injury recovery training program with work out on the practice pitches and in the gym.
On Saturday (03.04) PAOK will train at 14:30 at the Toumba before departing for Athens in the evening, where the squad will stay until Wednesday, since after the league match at Leoforos, PAOK then face AEK in the Greek Cup at the ΟΑΚΑ.
