With newcomers Léo Matos, Djalma Campos, Yevhen Shakhov and with Facundo Pereyra, Dimitris Giannoulis, Efthymis Koulouris, Achilleas Pouggouras and Panagiotis Deligiannidis returning from loan, the “Double-Headed Eagle” kicked off their preparation for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

The session lasted almost 90 minutes and, after the usual warm-up, PAOK players did technique drills in several stages: possession games, aerobic circular drills with ball, games against mini goals and aerobic jogging.

Stelios Kitsiou, who underwent groin micro-surgery, and Dimitris Konstantinidis who is recuperating from a cruciate ligament injury did special reintegration work.

Gianis Mystakidis and Jairo who were injured in the end of last season, trained normally, while Erik Sabo was absent due to a viral infection. Youngsters Bogdan Rangelov, Giorgos Kakko, Kristian Kushta and Τasos Dimitriadis also participated in training.

Ergometrics will continue on Thursday. PAOK’s next training session is scheduled to begin at 18:30 in Nea Mesimvria.
