Apollon Limassol defender Thomas Lam sidelined with knee injury
Apollon Limassol confirmed that Finnish defender Thomas Lam suffered a medial collateral ligament injury in his knee during the derby against Anorthosis on March 15, 2026. The club officially announced on March 17, 2026, that Lam will undergo conservative treatment and a rehabilitation program, with his return date depending on his recovery progress. This injury adds pressure to the squad, as defender Praxitelis Vouros is also doubtful due to ongoing fitness issues following a previous match against AEL. Furthermore, defender Kvinda is suspended, forcing head coach Hernan Losada to reshuffle his defensive line for upcoming fixtures. Currently, the team is preparing for the playoff phase and the Cyprus Cup semifinals. Losada acknowledged the intense nature of the season, describing it as an emotional rollercoaster. The medical staff will continue to monitor both Lam and Vouros in the coming weeks to determine their availability for the season's final stretch.
