Milos Degenek returns to the APOEL starting lineup for the match against Aris

Australian defender Milos Degenek has been named in the starting lineup for APOEL's match against Aris in Limassol on May 6, 2026. This marks his return to the first eleven after a period of limited playing time. There is a discrepancy in the reporting regarding his last start: one source states his last match was against Aris 52 days ago, while another source identifies the match against Anorthosis on March 8 as his previous start. Since the match on March 8, Degenek had played only 14 minutes in total. During the intervening period, he was primarily relegated to the bench or the stands. The match is a significant event for the team as they continue their current campaign. No further details were provided regarding tactical reasons for his long absence.
