There is already rumor that we are after some midfielder from Surinam who is Biseswar's teammate on the national team.

Might as well just retire. Once you go to Saudi Arabia you are just washed up player. Very sad.

You can expect that all you want but I doubt it will happen if Lucescu is still around. Same goes for Biseswar. Michailidis practiced with the team after passing two COVID tests, so I expect a Mihaj/Varela - Michailidis CB duo on Sunday.

Maybe, but can you imagine starting the game with Varela, Mihaj as CB duo, and with Varela just back from injury?

Sidcley got injured in practice today and his status for Sunday's game is uncertain. In the end two U21 PAOK players came down with COVID, and are now in quarantine. The players in question are Tsiggaras and Tsaousis (B team). The other three (Koutsias, Michailidis, Lyratzis) are under a close watch by the medial staff. We will have issues if Michailidis is not available.

Sweden with 1.5 chances wins the game 2:0. Two silly defensive mistakes decided the winner of the game. In the end it will be the two best teams that will finish top 2 in this group. Our national team still needs a lot of improvement in order to be competitive on that level.

Excellent first half. The only thing missing is a goal. Hopefully we can keep the same pace in 2nd half.

Paschalakis (Greece), Mihaj (Albania), Zivkovic (Serbia), and Swiderski (Poland) are starting their NT games on the bench.

Gustavo Varela, the son of Fernando Varela who plays for PAOK U19 has been called up to the Portugal U17 national team.

In the US you can watch it on TUDN Xtra and TUDN.com but you need authentication that you subscribe to Univision on cable or satellite. As for ESPN+ I believe you can sign up for 7 day free trial. Another option is to watch on OPEN TV with Greek commentary by using VPN.

The final count was 13 players infected.

Ten (10) U21 player are infected with COVID-19 and the game against Cyprus scheduled for tomorrow will not take place.

Ten (10) U21 player are infected with COVID-19 and the game against Cyprus scheduled for tomorrow will not take place. Apparently none of the PAOK U21 players tested positive.

There is unconfirmed report that there is a widespread COVID-19 outbreak in the U21 national team, which includes 5 PAOK players. The U21 is scheduled to play Cyprus tomorrow.

VS MATCHUP: P.A.O.K. Thessaloniki -Volos NFC COMPETITION: Superleague 1 – Round 6 DATE: 17-October-2021 TIME: 16:00 EEST (13:00 UTC, 08:00 CDT, 00:00 AEDT next day) CITY/STADIUM: Thessaloniki - Toumba Stadium (Capacity: 28,703) REFEREES: TELEVISION: Novasports Prime (Greece, Cyprus), PAOK TV, Net TV Plus (worldwide except Greece & Cyprus) PAOK - NFC Volos history: 2020-2021: 3:1 (Schwab, Ingason, Krmencik) - Attendance: no fans 2019-2020: 1:0 (Vieirinha-p) - Attendance: 11,995 GAMES: 2 WINS: 2 TIES: 0 LOSSES: 0

It's final. The 'B' team will play their home games at the Makedonikos Stadium in Nea Efkarpia. Capacity 8,100.

One addition to our "international" players is Ismael Ouedraogo from our 'B' team who represents Burkina Faso in the African WC qualifiers.

Sweden are clearly the favorites in this game and I believe they will win. They just have a better team then us. However as we have seen in the past anything can happen. Our player will have to go out and give it their all for the win.

2:0 away win against Belarus with Diamantis and Sardelis scoring the goals. With this win we go to the top of the table but other teams played less games. Next game is against Cyprus away on 12.10.2021 Standings after todays game: 1. Greece 8 (4 games) 2. Cyprus 7 (3) 3. Portugal 6 (2) 4. Iceland 4 (3) 5. Belarus 0 (3) 6. Liechtenstein 0 (4) The 2 ties against Cyprus (home) and Iceland (away) will probably cost us the qualification from this group.

The punishment was for delay of game (several times) because of low visibility due to the flares. They do that at every "derby" and never got punished for it in the past. Apparently there is a confusion if they have the right to appeal the decision. In any case I would like to beat them in front of a full house.

El Kaddouri and Varela returned to full practices today. Ingason took part in in some portions of the practices.

Here is the complete draw results for PAOK 'B' team. Be warned that at least 4 other teams are trying to get into Superleague 2 through courts. If they manage to succeed the current draw will be null and void. Kick-off is scheduled for October 17.
