PAOK trained on Monday ahead of Thursday's Europa Conference League third qualifying round return leg against Anderlecht. Ali and Despodov followed individual programs rather than joining the full squad, while midfielder Meïté continued his rehabilitation separately (1). The tie is finely poised: the first leg ended 1–1 in Brussels, and PAOK now need a result at home on Thursday evening, with kickoff set for 21:30 local time (1). Captain Zivkovic remains a doubt after picking up a knock, adding to the uncertainty around the squad's fitness for a match that will define the European campaign.
