AEK will wrap up its preparations for Wednesday’s big match against Real Madrid in the Champions League Group Stage at the Allwyn Arena (7:45 p.m.) with a practice session at 5:00 p.m.
Marko Nikolić, who will speak to the media at 4:00 p.m., will wait until today’s practice to assess the condition of Lazaros Rota and Aboubakar Koïta, who have been suffering from a viral infection and each played one half in the derby against Panathinaikos. In fact, the former was unable to attend his award ceremony hosted by the PSAPP yesterday, and it remains to be seen whether he will be included in the roster.

João Mário is definitely out of action; he is suffering from pneumonia and will also miss Sunday’s match against Levadiakos (5:00 p.m.), while it should be noted that Koutesa, Georgiev, Kaloskamis, and Alexiou are not on the European roster.
Thomas Strakosa trained normally yesterday, and it is up to Marko Nikolić whether to use him for the first time this season or to prefer Alberto Brignoli, who is in better form. The Albanian international goalkeeper has not played since September 5, when AEK defeated Aris 5-0, meaning he has been out of competitive action for nearly two months.
