NAME: Diego Henrique COSTA Barbosa POSITION: Center back JERSEY NUMBER: 19 BIRTHDAY: 21.07.1999 BIRTH PLACE: Campo Grande, Brazil HEIGHT 1.84 m PAOK DEBUT: NT DEBUT: - PREVIOUS TEAMS: Krasnodar FC, Sao Paulo, Gremio Prudente CONTRACT ENDS: 30-June-2027 (on loan from Krasnodar FC) SALARY: € 1,500,000 per season (€ 500,000 loan fee, € 7,500,000 buyout option)

Diego Costa officially announced. One year loan from Krasnodar. 500K loan fee, 1.5 mil salary, 7.5 mil buyout option.

Possibly Achilles tendon.

Ugresic 3:1

Clear red card.

If it wasn't for Pavlenka the score could easily be 7:0.

That was a stupid move by Bataoulas

That was a penalty.

This could now become a blow out.

The goaltender position is the one we don't need a transfer right now. We have more pressing spots to fill (like forward for example). I file this under "unlikely rumor"

Louchet, Hatzidiakos, Taylor, Meite, Despodov to miss the game.

Diego Costa is expected in Thessaloniki on Saturday. He had to change travel plans (no doubt trying to avoid Ukrainian drones) and is going to Constantinople first before coming to Thessaloniki.

PAOK was drawn against Spartak Myjava from Slovakia for the Round of 32 in the Europa Cup. First game in Thessaloniki on September 23, The return leg on September 30.

With Taylor out, we are running out of midfielders for this game. If we can get a tie out of this one I will be happy.
