It was Koki Machida who entered the pitch first followed by his coach Alexander Blessin, hands in his pockets and in a fairly relaxed manner. In total, 25 players took part in training, including 4 goalkeepers. They were greeted by numerous cameras and photographers, more numerous than during the European matches played this season.
The good news of the day is that Christian Burgess, who was injured on Sunday against Anderlecht, was present during the warm-up open to the press. The Englishman had pain in a bone in the sole of his foot for two weeks. If the 32-year-old cannot play, he will be replaced in the starting XI by Ross Sykes.
