Joseph Kvinda and Stefano Sensi suspended for the start of the play-offs

During the 26th matchday of the Cyprus league, Apollon Limassol defender Joseph Kvinda and Anorthosis Famagusta midfielder Stefano Sensi both received their sixth yellow cards of the season. The match took place at the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium. By reaching this yellow card threshold, both players triggered an automatic suspension. According to league regulations, although yellow card counts are cleared at the end of the first phase, players who have accumulated a prohibitive number must serve their suspensions during the first two matchdays of the second phase. Consequently, both Kvinda and Sensi will miss one of the first two matches of the play-offs. Coaching staff for their respective teams will have to adjust their lineups to account for these absences. This ruling applies regardless of the specific matchday chosen for the penalty enforcement.
