How is the situation in the center of the midfield for PAOK after the Frenchman’s injury and what Razvan Lucescu said about the Greek midfielder, who has not yet played time.
Tiemoue Bakayoko’s injury turned out to be quite serious and may keep the French central midfielder out of PAOK training for up to a month and a half.
The truth is that the one who will be most affected by his injury is the 30-year-old midfielder himself who showed that he still needs a lot of work to reach match fitness and his absence will be an even bigger setback.
In the worst-case scenario of his return, possibly with the new year, Razvan Lucescu will have to rely for the next games of 2024 on the three remaining midfielders – Schwab, Ozdoev and Kamaras – plus Konstantinos Thymianis, who so far has not played time .
Judging by what he said yesterday at the extraordinary press conference given by PAOK coach Thymianis, it was expected to be activated in the next period anyway.
Coming soon to rotation
“I feel sorry for Thymianis. He deserves to play and I told him to keep working like this and that the time will come when he needs to get playing time. And when he gets his chance, he might not come out again if he does everything right.” said Lucescu about the Greek midfielder announcing that he will soon include him in the rotation.
Now without Bakayoko – and without another interruption due to Nationals – PAOK will play eight games until Christmas: two for the Europa League with Riga away and Ferentzvaros at home, one for the Betsson Greek Cup (the procedural one with Aegaleo in Toumba) and five for the Stoiximan Super League with Asteras AKTOR in Tripoli, Athens Kallithea in Thessaloniki, Panserraikos in Serres, Panaitolikos in Agrinio and Atromitos in Toumba.
The data so far says that these will be shared by the three midfielders who have received the most games so far, and Thymianis will be the one who gives breathers, trying to climb the hierarchy of central media.
