Key Absence and Changes Ahead of APOEL Match

Ethnikos Achnas is preparing for the match against APOEL with significant changes to the starting lineup. Lomotey, after a month and a half absence due to injury, returns to central defense with the aim of keeping a clean sheet. Lomotey's absence was noticeable and his return is considered an important reinforcement for the team. Havier Siverio, who scored his first goal with the Ethnikos jersey, is in good psychological and athletic condition and is expected to help in the match against APOEL. The team's winning streak (two consecutive wins over Pafos and Enosis) gives the team additional momentum. However, Rui Ferreira will have to deal with some absences, as Felipe and Gonzales are suspended due to cards. This will lead to some forced changes in the starting lineup. The team is preparing intensively for the match and wants to get a positive result against APOEL, continuing their good momentum. The coach is expected to announce the final lineup shortly before the match, taking into account the available options and the condition of the players.
