Omonia faces lineup uncertainty ahead of Europa League match against Lincoln
Omonia is currently preparing for its first leg match against Lincoln in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, scheduled for August 7 at 20:00 in Gibraltar. The team is under pressure to secure a positive result following their recent exit from the competition against Kairat. Coach Henning Berg is overseeing the final training sessions, aiming to address the team's needs and respond effectively to the previous elimination.
The squad faces significant personnel challenges, with Karel Eiting and Moses Odubajo listed as doubtful for the upcoming match. Medical evaluations confirmed that Eiting is suffering from fatigue and is currently on a special recovery program, while Odubajo continues his rehabilitation process, with both players' availability set to be re-evaluated before the team's departure. Additionally, Omonia will be missing Negó, Koulibaly, and Kakoullis, who are all ruled out due to disciplinary suspensions.
Despite the setbacks, the club management remains focused on the primary goal of progressing through the Europa League. The administration is also evaluating the squad's requirements, maintaining their initial plan to reinforce the team with a goalkeeper, a central defender, and a midfielder to improve their chances in the potential playoff stage, where they could face Trabzonspor.
