Max Meyer sidelined for APOEL matches due to ongoing injury

APOEL midfielder Max Meyer has been ruled out of the match against Pafos FC on April 26, 2026. The player is suffering from recurring adductor muscle issues, which he previously chose to treat conservatively rather than surgically. Due to the persistence of these pains, his performance levels have declined, leading to his removal from the current squad. Coach Pablo Garcia now faces additional selection challenges. It remains uncertain if Meyer will be able to play again during the current season. He is also considered doubtful for the upcoming cup return leg against Apollon, where APOEL must overcome a 2-4 deficit. The team's ability to qualify for European competitions remains under threat as they face these crucial fixtures.
