The countdown to Kiril Despodov’s return to competitive action has begun at PAOK, with the Bulgarian international now close to putting his long absence behind him.
The 29-year-old winger has not played at all this season, as his injury kept him off the field for months. Now, however, he is in the final stretch of his comeback, and PAOK’s friendly match against Partizan is the one he has set his sights on for his return.

The goal is for him to get some playing time and take the first meaningful step toward gradually returning to his normal competitive rhythm. Of course, PAOK has no intention of pushing him harder than necessary, since the priority is for him to return without any new injuries and then gradually increase his playing time.
Despodov’s return takes on even greater significance for Alesio Lisi, as options on the wings are currently limited.
