PAOK Coach Lucescu Counts on Returning Players Ahead of OFI Clash

PAOK coach Razvan Lucescu is counting on returning players ahead of tomorrow's match against OFI. The team is in good form after qualifying for the semi-finals of the Greek Cup, where they will face Panathinaikos. OFI, under the guidance of Christos Kontis, is showing improved performance and has eliminated AEK from the Cup. The return of Despodov, Camara, Sastre, and Thymianis is significant, while Pavlenka is close to a full recovery. Lucescu has more options for the match against OFI, but Ivanusec remains sidelined due to injury. PAOK has a demanding schedule with matches for the Cup, the league, and European commitments.
