INTIME SPORTS
The continued inability of Schwab, due to illness, to enter into a normal training rhythm forces Lucescu to somehow await the return of Kamara from his National team and brings Thymianis even closer to the rotation.
The long-term virus that afflicts Stefan Schwab is giving Razvan Lucescu headaches. The Austrian is unable to get into regular training and the 55-year-old coach is anxiously waiting – once again – for Mandi Kamara’s return from his duties with his National team.
With Tiemoue Bakayoko injured, Schwab sick, the PAOK coach’s options for the match against Asteras AKTOR are extremely limited.
The data for the midfield against the Arcades
If Kamara returns fully fit to play on Sunday then he will be the one to form the duo in midfield with Magomed Ozdoev and Konstantinos Thymianis will be the alternative to Lucescu on the bench.
If the midfielder from Guinea is not at 100%, then the Greek midfielder will get a first team jersey for the first time since the day he was acquired by PAOK.
Thymianis, whom Loucescu made a special mention of in the recent press conference, has so far played for 1′ in the league match against Panserraikos in Toumba and for 25′ in the cup game with Aegaleo, coming on as a substitute when Giannis Michailidis was sent off.
The issue he has created in midfield is an issue especially after Bakayoko’s serious injury. And this not only because the French midfielder will miss this last cycle of games in 2024, but mainly because it will take him even further back – since he was already clearly unprepared – compared to the rest of his teammates.
A fact that forces the people of Dikefalo to move even more intensively for the acquisition of another midfielder, completing as soon as possible a transfer that all the staff of the champions consider necessary in January.
