Kiril Despodov misses PAOK training due to illness

Bulgarian international footballer Kiril Despodov has missed recent training sessions with PAOK due to health issues. Following a period of recovery from a finger surgery, Despodov is currently sidelined by a flu or cold.

PAOK coach Alessio Lisi faces selection challenges as several players remain unavailable due to long-term injuries. The medical staff is monitoring Despodov's condition to determine his availability for the upcoming derby against Iraklis at Toumba Stadium.

This match is considered critical for PAOK, who currently sit in fourth place with 12 points, trailing leaders Panathinaikos by three points. The team is looking to bounce back following a recent 1-3 loss to Kalamata.
