AEK Larnaca prepares for playoff match against Aris amidst injury crisis

AEK Larnaca is focusing on the upcoming 5th round playoff match against Aris, scheduled for Saturday, April 25, at 19:00 at the AEK Arena. The team, coached by Xavi Roca, is aiming to return to winning ways after a streak of three matches without a victory, including two draws and one loss. Coach Roca faces significant squad depth issues with multiple players unavailable for the match. Petros Ioannou is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Chacon, Cabrera, Rubio, and Amin remain out of contention. Jimmy Suarez is also considered doubtful for the upcoming fixture. Conversely, Roberge returns to the defensive lineup, and recent recruits like Gurfinkel and Mudrazija have begun contributing to the team's performance. Securing a win is seen as a vital step for AEK to cement their position for European qualification.
