Preparing in body and soul for tomorrow’s first Cup semi-final against Olympiacos, but in mind and for tomorrow’s (13:30) rafter trial is AEK. Two cases that are fatally linked, as the red-whites’ statement yesterday accusing the Union of conspiring to get a match with Atromitos on paper was enough to raise the tone. The “yellow-black” PAE included her in the atmospheric explosion operation, asking her fans to be indifferent. She did not respond, given the mention of two of her fans killed in the offensive derby with Panathinaikos, asking her men to ignore any provocation.

In the judiciary, the AEK believes that the decision, which is expected to be delivered on Friday (at first instance), will fully exonerate the team in the issue of crossbars. Alexis Kougias is expected to take over the defense of Atromitos, who risks getting three points while there is a right of appeal to be considered by the competent EPO committee.

However, the Union in no way wants this case to affect the competitive efforts of the Almeida players, who are preparing to take the lead in qualifying. The participation of Fernandes, who is still suffering from shell shock and was training on his own again yesterday, seems very difficult and Mohammadi will also be out as he continues his recovery.

There are thoughts about the presence of Stankovic under the racks, taking the place of Athanasiadis.
