AEK Larnaca enters league break amid championship race

As of March 28, 2026, AEK Larnaca is utilizing the international break to rest after playing 45 matches since July, the highest number of games for any Cypriot club this season. The team currently sits six points behind the league leaders with nine matchdays remaining. Under manager Javi Rozada, the team has achieved three consecutive clean sheets for the first time in 15 months, including a recent win against APOEL. Several players, including Jorge Miramon, Jimmy Suarez, and Giorgos Naoum, are expected to be available for the upcoming away match against Apollon Limassol following the break. However, Enzo Cabrera will be sidelined for over nine months due to a cruciate ligament rupture and medial collateral ligament injury. The squad has had a six-day rest period, with training set to resume following the international window, during which only three players—Andreas Paraskevas, Champos Kyriakou, and Amin Youssef—are absent on national duty.
