Omonia defender Fotis Kitsos undergoes successful knee surgery

On February 12, 2026, Omonia FC announced that Greek defender Fotis Kitsos successfully underwent surgery to repair a severe knee injury. The procedure addressed a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and a lateral meniscus tear. This injury was sustained approximately 20 days prior to the operation during a match against Aris in Limassol. Following the surgery, the club released a photograph of the player from his hospital bed to confirm his condition. Medical estimates indicate that the rehabilitation period will last between nine and twelve months. Consequently, Kitsos is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-2026 season. Omonia issued an official statement expressing full support for the left-back during his recovery process. The player's return to competitive football is anticipated for late 2026 or early 2027. Kitsos had been a regular contributor to the squad before the incident occurred in Limassol.
