Absentees and new faces
The last match played was in Croatia. It was the game against Rijeka that “locked up” the club’s qualification for the Europa Conference League group stage. A small reset was necessary and now PAOK is preparing for the start of the Super League.
Players and coach gathered again in Nea Mesimvria to begin work in view of the next part of the season. The club’s internationals were conspicuous by the absence from training, however, there were some new arrivals making their first appearances in the form of Akpom, Sidcley and Mitrita.
The program was an adjustment session after the three-day break featuring ball movement exercises, possession and finishing. Rodrigo, and El Kaddouri stayed in the gym and received treatment for their injuries.
On Wednesday (01.09) the training menu will include a double training session at Nea Mesimvria.
