Bohoridis is 99% doubtful if he is in the 10th or 12th group, it will be just for him. We will make our effort. Unfortunately, we will not have Hugaz because it is a postponed game and he has no right to participate. It is still a problem and judging by his performance in the previous match which was positive it will be a problem."
