Franz Brorsson out of APOEL squad for cup match against ENP

APOEL defender Franz Brorsson was excluded from the squad for the cup match against Enosis Neon Paralimniou (ENP) on February 11, 2026. Reports indicate that the Swedish center-back stayed away to be with his wife following the birth of their child. Brorsson was previously an unused substitute in the derby against AEK. In addition to the cup fixture, he is confirmed to miss the upcoming league game against Ethnikos Achnas due to a suspension for yellow card accumulation. Other notable absences for APOEL include Max Meyer and Kostas Stafylidis, who are sidelined with injuries. The match against ENP was marked by a significant police presence and the use of the Aiantas water cannon. These absences come at a busy period for the Nicosia-based club. The decision regarding Brorsson's availability follows his recent lack of playing time despite being on the bench in previous weeks. Team management confirmed that the player’s personal circumstances were the primary reason for his absence on this occasion.
