The celebrations for the great victory in Toumba are already a thing of the past for her AEK. Everyone in the ranks of the team is well aware that for the “double” against PAOK to have any value, it should initially be accompanied by two victories in the matches against Volos and Aris that follow. Everyone’s attention is already on Wednesday’s match with Volos at Panthessalikos (18:00) for the third matchday of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs.
THE Matias Almeida faces several racing headaches. Djibril Sidibe and Nordin Amrabat are definitely out of action. The French full-back suffered a second-degree contusion in his calf and is expected to be sidelined for around a month. This practically means that he has hopes of catching only the last 1-2 games of the playoffs, with Aris on the 10th (away) and Volos on May 14 (inside) and the Cup final, if AEK qualifies. Less serious is the condition of Nordin Amrabat, who has a first-degree contusion to his biceps. The Moroccan will be absent for 2-3 weeks and may miss the match against PAOK on April 26.
Besides the two, it is very difficult as well as improbable to be present in the mission for the match in Volos and for the Arnold Mukudi and Tom Van Weert, who did not train properly yesterday either and it seems that the goal is to present themselves ready against Aris on Sunday. On the contrary, things are optimistic for him Paolo Fernandezwho despite having a heart operation, this was routine, is expected to train normally today and has a chance to enter the team offering an extra solution in midfield against his old team.
Based on the medical report, Almeida will proceed with several changes in the basic scheme. Rota will return to the right end of the defense, Eliasson is favorite for the position of the right winger, while it is quite possible that AEK will line up with a classic defensive midfielder, alongside Pineda and one of the Garcias (who may not yet is considered 100% ready to play 90 minutes) or Zuber in the attack.
