The Nigerian striker has been omitted from PAOK's 18-man provisional roster announced at the end of training on Wednesday afternoon.
Romanian football tactician, Răzvan Lucescu, has not handed a full debut to Akpom since his arrival in Greece last month, with the striker making four appearances off the bench of which two were in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League against Benfica.
The Hale End Academy product was a non-playing substitute last weekend against OFI Crete in the Super League.
