PAOK face a selection issue for their next Super League fixture after Jonjo Kenny was dismissed during their match against Asteras AKTOR. The English defender received a second yellow card in the 63rd minute for a foul on Dimitris Kourbelis while the score stood at 1-1. Under standard competition regulations, accumulating two cautions in a single match results in an automatic suspension for the subsequent league game.

As a direct consequence of this dismissal, Kenny is ruled out of PAOK’s high-profile encounter against Olympiacos. That match is scheduled to take place at Faliro on November 8 with a 21:00 kickoff. His absence removes a defensive option for manager Alessio Lisci as the team prepares for one of the season's most significant domestic fixtures.

The numerical disadvantage caused by Kenny's expulsion proved temporary. In the 73rd minute, Asteras AKTOR player Franz Brorsson was also shown a second yellow card, having received both cautions within a span of just six minutes. This second sending-off restored numerical parity between the two sides for the remainder of the contest.
