Gideon Kalulu and Steve Yago are returning to Cyprus to rejoin Aris Limassol's squad after their national teams were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations. The Democratic Republic of Congo, featuring Kalulu, lost 1-0 to Algeria in extra time, while Burkina Faso, with Yago in the lineup, was defeated 3-0 by Ivory Coast. Aris coach Artjom Radtkov will have two valuable defenders available for the upcoming derby against AEK, scheduled for Saturday, January 10th. The return of the two players significantly strengthens the team's defensive options ahead of the important matches to come.
