AEK to Face Paphos Without Rubio

AEK is completing its preparations for Sunday's (25/01) derby against Paphos at the 'Stelios Kyriakidis' stadium, as part of the 19th matchday of the Cyta League. The Larnaca team is aiming for another victory to improve their position in the standings. Imanol Idiakez cannot count on Roden, Naoum, and Tsakon for the match. Recently, the absence of Rubio has also emerged, as the Spanish forward is experiencing discomfort in his waist. The Spanish striker tried to overcome the problem, but failed and will therefore not be included in the team's squad for the game in Paphos. His condition will be reassessed in the coming days. AEK is expected to field a strong starting eleven, despite the absences, in order to compete for the win in this important derby. The team has prepared adequately and is determined to put on a good show.
