Latest in the Greek Cup final saga is AEL FC Arena in Larisa on May 24. Why do I believe that this will not be the final location for the cup final.

Augusto and Taison are back and available. Ingason will miss at least the next two games.

2022 - 2023 Season: Round 23 (04.05.2023, 14:45 EEST - Makedonikos Stadium, Efkarpia) PAOK 'B' Thessaloniki - Niki Volos TV: no coverage

Iraklis Larisa - PAOK 1:4

Ingason to miss the game. In other words our available CBs are Michailidis, Koulierakis, Nasberg. Good luck to the team. And the Aris fake owner has announced that Aris players will receive extra bonus if they win at Toumba.

Unfortunately Ingason got injured. Hopefully it's not too serious. Without him it will be much tougher. There re still 4 games left plus the cup final. Need to regroup and hope for the best.

Must win game for many reasons.

The thing is can we pick up the pieces and finish the season strong. Before today's game I thought we would be 6 points behind Olympiakos. We are still only 3 points behind and all wide open for 3rd place.

The game is pretty much over. Try not to get any injuries in 2nd half. Need to focus on next game against Aris that gave us a big gift earlier today.

Also Lyratzis and Koulierakis not in the squad. Let's see what kind of lineup will Lucescu come up with.

Augusto and Taison are questionable after yesterday's game. After yesterday our only goal in the playoffs left is to be at a minimum 3 points behind Olympiakos in the last round where we play them at home. In that case with a win we will finish in 3rd place.

Disappointing.

Makes no difference. We just can't create any chances.

We will have to, but not sure we have anybody on the bench to really make the difference. Don't forget we are going to a set of games where we will be playing non-stop every three days. Starting with the game on Sunday I expect Lucescu to play with this lineup: ---------------- Kotarski ---------------- Vierinha - Ingason - Koulierakis - Soares ----- Augusto ---------- Dantas -------- Zivkovic ---- Konstantelieas ----- Taison --------------- Oliveira ---------------- However there is no way players like Vieirinha, Taison or Olivera will be able to keep up pace playing every 3 days.

Sastre did not practice again today. He will most likely miss Sunday's game.

Narey is out indefinitely, but El Kadduri is back at full practices. Sastre is also out, but is day to day.

Apparently Narey had breathing problems yesterday and ended up in the hospital, where he was initially diagnosed with micro thrombosis of the lungs, which is believed to have been caused by COVID-19. He will be treated with medicine and will have to abstain from practices for the next 14 days. At that point he will undergo new tests to see if things improved. He will miss so much practice and it will take some time for him to come back to full health assuming the test after the 14 days are positive. In my opinion, he is done for the season.
