Apollon Limassol and APOEL are focusing on their upcoming Wednesday cup semi-final after both teams suffered league defeats.

Apollon spokesperson Fanourios Konstantinou confirmed that Lam, Spoljaric, and Vouros are unavailable, though Gaëtan Weissbeck is returning to fitness. Meanwhile, APOEL lost 2-0 to Omonia, a match during which coach Pablo García rested several players to manage squad depth ahead of the cup tie.
