Friday’s training session was held at Nea Mesimvria. Taking into account the accumulated fatigue from back-to-back games, the coaching staff oversaw a lighter session for Wednesday’s starters, who did some jogging and followed part of the team’s training drills.

The remaining players went through ball exercises and a training match in reduced spaces. Róbert Mak and Hedwiges Maduro trained normally for a second consecutive day without complaining of pain and are ready for action. Giorgos Katsikas, Giannis Skondras and Panagiotis Deligiannidis trained apart and did physiotherapy. Giorgos Tzavellas also did specialized training.

Saturday’s training session is scheduled to begin at noon. Afterwards, Angelos Anastasiadis will issue his list of players for the Xanthi match.
