Cypriot football update: Apollon and APOEL prepare for key domestic matches
Apollon Limassol faces Omonia at the Alphamega Stadium on April 26, 2026, while balancing preparations for the upcoming Cyprus Cup semi-final second leg against APOEL. Coach Hernan Losada is expected to rotate his squad, with injuries currently sidelining Vouros, Lam, and Spoliaric, while Lyubic and Weisbeck remain uncertain. Meanwhile, APOEL prepares for a match against Pafos FC on the same day, aiming to close the gap to fourth place to secure potential European qualification. APOEL faces a goalkeeper crisis as Belec is sidelined with a strain for three weeks. Omonia will travel to Limassol without Giannis Masouras, who is out due to muscular issues. The APOEL board recently debated the future of coach Pablo Garcia following poor results, ultimately opting to maintain him despite internal pressure. The Cup return match, which remains a priority for both teams, is scheduled for the following Wednesday at the GSP Stadium.
